Dorothy and Shea Doherty of Our Farm Greenhouses in Portage la Prairie discuss how to keep your favourite houseplants alive and healthy.

Jan Pedersen’s personal garden is kaleidoscope of colour, shape, texture and form all created by his skill in landscaping with trees and shrubs. Jan, who was once the co-owner of Shelmerdine Garden Centre, the largest garden centre in Manitoba, also spent 10 years working for one of the foremost growers of hardy shrubs and trees in Canada, Bylands Nurseries out of Kelowna. Jan is a knowledgeable guy.

We visit the International Peace Garden with CEO, Tim Chapman. The International Peace Garden straddles the border between North Dakota and Manitoba, just about 20 minutes south of Boissevain, Manitoba. It was the dream of Dr. Henry Moore of Islington, Ontario who belonged to an international horticulture association. Dr. Moor realised the idea and a meeting in New York in 1928 and the following year, at a meeting in Toronto, the deal was done.

Kevin Twomey, the former owner of T & T Seeds, returns to talk with Dorothy Dobbie about preparing for the upcoming gardening season.

We spend time with Senior Director of Horticulture, Gerald Dieleman, as he tells us about The Leaf an exciting and new addition to Assiniboine Park.
