Horticuluralists Gather in Atikokan


Horticulturalists from across northwestern Ontario gather in Atikokan this weekend.

They're meeting for an annual meeting.

President of the Atikokan society, Alana Rechlin says they serve as a good resource for other planters.

"If they don't have the background knowledge, this is where the horticultural societies can come in," says Rechlin. "We can give them advice, literature to read or our own experience as to what will work and what won't."

The weekend meetings coincide with the Atikokan Society's 30th anniversary.
