YORKTON - The Parkland Mall was in bloom Wednesday, Aug. 8, as it hosted the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society’s Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Show.
As Debbie Hayward noted in her Gardener’s Notebook, “the show has changed over the years; some of you may remember the large shows, with enough entries to fill an entire hall! Those shows took an incredible amount of work, both in the garden beforehand and during show time.
“Gardening has also changed. While there may not be many gardeners with huge gardens that can supply entries in ever veggie, fruit of flower category from A to Z, gardeners have their favourite plants and love to share the beauty of them with others. We all learn from each other.”
Hayward also offered bouquets to the members of the Hort Society who brought entries of any kind, helped set up, helped with coffee duty, played hosts to our guests, and helped take the show down at the end of the day. The show could not happen without your support, thank you everyone.
And “a big bouquet of thanks also goes to our friends at the Parkland Mall, our friends at McDonald’s, and our friends at YTW who all play such a big role in the success of our show.”
