Frank Skinner Honored For Horticulture Achievements
Dr. Frank L. Skinner received an outstanding achievement award at the C.S.H.S. banquet in Regina on July 12, 1994. Tom Ward of the University of Saskatchewan presented it, accepted by son Hugh and daughter Heather Loeppky, for 144 new varieties and a quiet prairie impact. The Dropmore Nursery continues under Hugh Skinner as Prairie Garden Greenhouse develops bedding plants. Local groups support an interpretive trail to showcase Skinner’s plant collection and public access plans.
