ATTENTION GARDENERS!
Mark Tuesday, February 12 on your calendar, and plan to be at the Yorkton Public Library for a great Open Cinema Film from the Yorkton Film Festival.
The film is “Howland’s Honey”, a fascinating film about a long-time family honey production business, just outside of Yorkton. The short documentary “Howland’s Honey” won the Golden Sheaf Award for Community Television.
Sasha Howland, proprietor of the farm and subject of the film, will be the speaker for the evening.
We know how important bees are, so come out and learn more about them on Tuesday, February 12 at 7:00 PM at the Yorkton Public Library. Admission is free.

The Language of Flowers
In Eastern lands they talk in flowers, And they tell in a garland their loves and cares: Each blossom that blooms in their garden bowers, On its leaves a mystic language bears. The rose is the sign of joy and love,— Young, blushing love in its earliest dawn; And the mildness that suits the gentle dove From the myrtle’s snowy flower is drawn. Innocence shines in the lily’s bell, Pure as a heart in its native heaven; Fame’s bright star, and glory’s swell, By the glossy leaf of the bay are given. The silent, soft, and humble heart In the violet’s hidden sweetness breathes; And the tender soul that cannot part, A twine of evergreen fondly wreathes. The cypress, that darkly shades the grave, Is sorrow, that mourns her bitter lot; And faith, that a thousand ills can brave, Speaks in thy blue leaves, forget-me-not.
Then gather a wreath from the garden bowers, And tell the wish of thy heart in flowers.

The Yorkton and District Horticultural Society sends our deepest sympathy
to the family of Neil Thom. We are deeply saddened to hear of his passing.
Neil and all our friends at Yorkton This Week were always so supportive of our
group and our activities; he was a man of deep commitment to the community
and will be sorely missed.
Thank you, Neil, for your ongoing support.
May you now enjoy the peace and beauty of Heaven’s garden.
With our gratitude and appreciation,

Gardeners!
This Remembrance Day, please put a bloom of your choice on your kitchen table, not only to refresh your eyes and soul, but as a small tribute to the many brave men and women who fought in wars.
When you see this bloom, pause and thank them all for their bravery.
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”
