Greetings and May News...


Hi everyone! Some of you may recognise me from working in the Field project or other activities during the year; but as the new Greenhouse Manager I'd like to take the time to introduce myself:


Kaleigh Elian
~ Saskatoon is my hometown, and always has been.
~ I am going into my third year of Arts and
Science for a Bachelor of Arts in History and
Geology, then applying to the College of
Education for Elementary Education.
~ I've been with the Horticulture Club
for two years now, I enjoy learning new
methods, meeting enthusiastic members, planting, and most of all harvesting!!
~ I love photography, reading, cooking, travel, and enjoying free time when I have the chance to relax.

May News:

So far, the cucumber, eggplant, and herb sections have been terminated; and thank you to the members who came out to help take the plants down. The overall plan for May is to finish terminating our vegetable crops-tomatoes and peppers-so that Eldon is able to fully clean the Hort Club section. This will *hopefully* decrease or eliminate our chances of early diesease outbreaks.

What I'd like to do is set up a group 'take down' session for this Saturday at 3:30/4 pm in order to look after the tomato and pepper plants. We will only need ~ six (6) members to help out, and anyone who is interested is free to send me a message at kae074@mail.usask.ca

As a side-note, any members that would like to take the beautiful and established pepper or tomato plants from the greenhouse home with them for their own gardens/personal use are free to...the one condition is that the pots MUST be returned to the greehouse, since they were purchased by the U of S Agriculture Department and are not Horticulture property.

Have a great week and hope to see a few of you on Saturday!

~. Kaleigh
