Geocache Description:

You are looking for a camo'ed coffee tin. The cache contains swag related to gardens and he first to find prize is a citronella candle (which you may need).

Please leave the garden as you find it. We realize you will need to step on plants and that's okay but please leave other items like rocks where they are. The pathway needs to be accessible by wheelchair and rocks that are out of place makes that difficult.

 


Welcome to the University of Saskatchewan’s Prairie Habitat Garden. The garden is a great place for students, teachers and people in general to learn about the habitat that existed here long Europeans arrived as it is home to a variety of native plant species and a few non-native species that we are working to eliminate. You will see plants like Bergamot, Giant Hyssop, lots of Wild Rose bushes, Wild Licorice and may be fortunate enough to have an encounter with a Bumble Bee and a Richardson Ground Squirrel. Established by students in the College of Education in 2005, the garden contains a traditional First Nations medicine wheel which has been blessed by an elder but isn't considered active because it is not used on an ongoing basis. I hope you'll take the time to wander through the garden and enjoy a feast for your senses.

Congratulations Northbound and Polarcat for FTF! It was wonderful to meet you!
