RELATED PROJECTS:

Boffins Garden is a horticultural treasure in the centre of the Innovation Place campus in Saskatoon. Designed in a style inspired by the Arts & Crafts movement, and developed in collaboration with Saskatchewan horticulture pioneer Dieter Martin, this space fulfills the role of a public botanical garden for Saskatoon.

In the summer the open spaces, patios, and gazebo make this one of the most popular landscapes to explore, to relax, and for family gatherings and celebrations. In the winter the pond is cleared and remains open for skating.

The microclimate created by the large central pond, surrounding landforms, and adjacent buildings, coupled with careful maintenance and management, allows unique-to-Saskatoon and marginally hardy species to thrive.
