PRINCE GEORGE – With the temperatures warming up and teasing us that spring may be right around the corner, several green thumbs have already started to cruise the stores looking to expand their gardens.

The seed packages sold at Art Knapp Garden centre are flying off the shelves as many of the buyers have discovered a newfound love for gardening during the pandemic.

Seed sellers are seeing blossoming demand for seeds and gardening tools. Equal to what they saw last year.

There is a growing trend with hobby gardening as more people find it a great pastime during this lockdown.
