March 26 marks an incredible milestone for the Burkitt family in Prince Albert.
Its on this date back in 1936 that Fred Burkitt purchased the Saskatchewan Greenhouses and Nursery from the Coster estate. Those greenhouses had been established in 1895 when Saskatchewan was part of the Northwest Territories and were thought to be the first of its kind in the west. The business is still being run by the Burkitt family 85 years later â a feat not many can claim. A receipt for John G. Diefenbaker and a price list from 1939 among other Burkittâs Flowers memorabilia. Tiger Lilly perennials sold for 0.20 cents each back in 1939.

âPeople were there nearly two hours before we got started. The parks and recreation assistants jumped in right away and started helping people,â said Los Lunas Fire Chief John Gabaldon.
