Supporting local biodiversity ensures that the entire system continues to provide habitat and food for local flora and fauna, meaning that we can continue to enjoy Saskatchewan as our home. Some species, like the Saskatchewan lily and prairie hardy crocus, are protected species which cannot be sold or tampered with. Some locations where chokecherries or Saskatoon bushes are plentiful are known to locals as historic places where our Indigenous friends, neighbours, and families can locate traditional medicines. So not every native species in Saskatchewan can – or should – be purchased. But all of the native species are important for supporting that valuable ecosystem.

We have a number of plants that you can grow if you are looking to create a garden that features native species! All of the species listed below are native to Saskatchewan, and therefore hardy to our area. They may still require a little love in the first year – including mulch before winter, and definitely some fertilizer! – but they should provide you with years of enjoyment.
1. Dodecatheon meadia “Shooting Star”
2. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi “Bearberry Vancouver Jade (Kinnikinnick)”
3. Salvia apiana “White Smudging Sage”
4. Anemone pulsatilla “Pasqueflower (Hardy Crocus)”

7. Gaillardia x grandiflora “Dwarf Goblin (Blanket Flower)”
8. Prunus virginiana “Chokecherry”
9. Amelanchia alnifolia “Saskatoon berry”
Saskatchewan has a rich and vibrant biodiversity – you just have to know where to look! As people become more interested in supporting local ecosystems and creating beneficial food sources for pollinators, we have noticed more requests for species that are native to Saskatchewan. We are excited to offer a number of plants that help support Saskatchewan’s ecosystems!
