Gardenscape feautres a hands-on display where the visiting green thumbs are able to get their hands dirty, as well as the speakers' theatre where different experts can address the gathering crowds with specific presentations. Part of the joy for visitors after two years of isolation, social distancing and COVID-19 restrictions, is the ability to learn about and discuss gardening face-to-face. It's not very often a gardener is grumpy," Van Duyvendyk said Saturday. "It's one nice thing about the whole gardening industry is that people come in with smiles. He knows it's spring simply by the amount of people coming up to him looking for advice or to exchange a friendly greeting. Rick Van Duyvendyk and his Dutch Growers booth has become a staple of the annual tradeshow. The aisles are much wider so people don't feel cramped in the two halls Gardenscape is using at Prairieland Park. With pandemic-related restrictions are still top of mind for many, Kuzma said the show has been set up to give people more space compared to when the show was last held in 2019. We're really thrilled to be back after two years away," she said. "We're super excited for not only the exhibitors to be back, but also the many volunteers that come on board to help us build the show as well. Susan Kuzma, Prairieland's manager of special events, said the roughly five months of work to get the show on track feels more special this year. Spring in Saskatoon doesn't get the official seal of approval until Gardenscape has arrived, and for the first time since 2019, the annual trade show is back to take over Prairieland Park this weekend.
