The Dig into Horticulture program is a collaborative effort to strengthen our region’s horticultural businesses for both new and established producers. This roadmap series includes webinars, workshops, and various events to help inform our producers of all things from production to marketing to business plans and everything in between.

Join us this fall for a two-part series as Forrest Scharff, Fruit Specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture talks about new management practices for pruning, orchard renovation, and strawberry production.
