Weyburn Cooperative Playschool held a very successful second annual "Grow With Us" tree sale fundraiser.

With support from all who placed orders through us, the playschool surpassed its fundraising goal of $5000 and raised $10,500. Funds raised go directly to Weyburn Cooperative Playschool, and will enable them to maintain the high quality programming our 3- and 4-year-olds enjoy.

This year, 24,100lbs of trees and plants were ordered (and unloaded by hand!) through our fundraiser. This included 238 Shade trees (Ash, Butternut, Black Walnut, Aspen, Poplar, Mayday, Maple, Alder, Birch, Hackberry, Shubert, Oak, Willow, Linden, and Larch varieties); 122 Evergreens (Boxwood, Cedar, Juniper, Pine, and Spruce varieties); 102 Fruits (Saskatoon, Asparagus, Strawbery, Cherry, Rhubarb, Black, Raspberry, Red Raspberry, Blueberry, Grape); 99 Shrubs (Caragana, Cotoneaster, Dogwood, Hazlenut, Honeysuckle, Hydrangea, Lilac, Mock Orange, Ninebark, Potentilla, Smokebush, Spirea, and Willow); 30 Vines (Clematis, Hopps, Ivy, Wisteria); 23 Fruit Trees (Apple, Crab Apple, Cherry, Plum, Pear); and 14 Roses (Adelaide, Canadian Shield, Canada Blooms, John Cabot, Morden, Never Alone, and Prairie
Snowdrift varieties).

"Our hope is that everyone enjoys watching their trees, and children, grow!" said Jenn Cugnet, president of the Weyburn Cooperative Playschool board.
