What do I need to know as new HortClub members?

We welcome you to the HortClub, and we hope you will have a pleasure time and learn a lot in the end.

A bit of history about us:

Established in 1991 by a group of students interested in Horticulture with the help of Dr. Karen Tanino, who is a professor in the Plant Science Department. The HortClub offers a variety of opportunities for students in a range of Horticultural areas. This up coming year we will have the following activities:

1. Field project (running during the summer)
2. Greenhouse project ( running all year round)
3. Ornamental plants
4. Wine and food processing

Most of our vegetable production is primarily for members' use, and any extra is proudly supplied to the Food Services, Child Hunger and Education Program (CHEP) - good food box program, U of S Students' Union Food Centre and some local restaurants.

Since we have quite a few activities, it is not required that members attend all of the activities. You only attend those activites which is best suited to your interests. Some activities will involve labor, but you won't regret your time and effort with what you have learned in the end. You can find most of our contact information on the blog, and don't hesitate to ask specific questions you may have.

For the list of executive contact information, you can find it here:

Once again, we welcome you to the club and wish you will have a good time.

Sincerely yours,

Executive members
