As Mother's Day approaches, greenhouses like Dutch Growers in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, are gearing up for one of their busiest weekends of the year. Nikki Van Duyvendyk, one of the owners, emphasizes the excitement surrounding this time, as it not only brings families together to enjoy the vibrant flowers but also marks the beginning of the planting season after a long winter. Preparations for the weekend begin as early as January, with the greenhouse hiring up to 110 team members to ensure everything runs smoothly. Van Duyvendyk notes that many customers visit out of nostalgia, continuing a tradition of selecting Mother's Day arrangements and enjoying the colorful displays. Additionally, there is a growing interest in vegetable gardening, with many customers eager to start their own gardens. Van Duyvendyk offers tips for new gardeners, advising them to monitor nighttime temperatures to help their plants acclimate to outdoor conditions. This Mother's Day weekend is not just about flowers; it's a celebration of family traditions and the joy of gardening.
