Flower Power! 🌸 Gardening with Native Plants!

Join enthusiastic gardeners from Pollinator Paradise YXE to celebrate the benefits of bringing wildflowers and other native plants home to your balcony, boulevard or yard.

Learn how to create a garden that feeds the birds and the bees, rewards you with bumper crops of produce and abounds in beauty. We will cover all the bases, including why to add native plants to your garden, how to prepare your site, where to obtain seeds and bedding plants, and so much more.

This event will be held at three different Saskatoon Libraries:
🌸May 9 - J.S. Wood Library Auditorium - 4:00pm - 5:00pm
🌸May 16 - Frances Morrison Central Library Theatre - 3:00pm - 4:00pm
🌸May 23 - Alice Turner Library Auditorium - 3:00pm - 4:00pm

Kelton Braun is an environmental educator working with Meewasin. He has always had a passion for native flowers, the animals that pollinate them, and the overlooked world of tiny creatures that call the prairies home. He loves to tell anyone who will listen about plants and pollinators, and volunteers with Pollinator Paradise YXE and Wild About Saskatoon to do just that. In his spare time, Kelton tends to his flower garden, and is especially proud of the native plant bed, which seems to grow larger every year.

An artistic opportunity! 🍄‍🟫

It's time for our annual Art Contest!

Send us a high quality image of your submission to saskmycology@gmail.com before midnight on April 13th. The design chosen by popular vote will be featured on our next run of T-shirts and swag.

The winner will receive a T-shirt featuring their design, free attendance to all 2026 forays, a Native Plant Society of Saskatchewan membership for the season, shout outs on our socials (great for advertising your art, if you are so inclined), and of course, bragging rights.

This is a great opportunity to exercise your creativity, share your art and love of fungi, and help a nonprofit organization sell some fundraising swag to continue (and hopefully increase!) our educational events and research initiatives.

Please include both the words 'Sask Mycology' and fungi-related imagery in your submission. Note that images must be single-toned for black or white printing on a coloured background.
