September at The Green Spot
September is bringing workshops, expert fashion advice, local makers, end-of-season nursery savings and plenty of reasons to keep growing—even after Manitoba decides summer has had quite enough.
Green Spot Insider Rewards members can also earn double points and enjoy exclusive savings throughout the month. Here’s everything happening at The Green Spot this September, plus an early look at our returning Fall Fashion Show.

French Dressing Jeans Fit Event
Finding jeans that fit properly should not require negotiation, denial or strategic breathing. Representatives from French Dressing Jeans will be at The Green Spot on September 18 to help you discover the cuts, rises and styles that suit you best.
Come try on new styles, ask questions and get personalized guidance from people who know how FDJ jeans are designed to fit. Whether you want a fresh look, a more flattering silhouette or simply somewhere sensible to begin, this is your chance to find jeans that feel as good as they look.

The Green Spot Fashion Show Is Back!
We’re turning Saturday night over to Fall and Winter fashion. Join us for fresh seasonal looks, familiar favourites, snacks, wine and plenty of inspiration from Papa, Renuar, French Dressing Jeans, Tribal and more.
This year’s show celebrates fashion for women, men and everyone in between—because great style does not belong to one age, size, shape or kind of person.
The Bloom Box will also join us with a special show-stopping creation made for the evening. We’re not revealing it early. Some surprises deserve better than being spoiled on the internet.
Saturday, October 3
Doors open at 6:00 PM · Fashion Show begins at 7:00 PM
Tickets: $25 per person
Snacks included · Wine available for purchase
Tickets are limited. Bring a friend or two and join us for an evening of fashion, food, wine and fun at The Green Spot.
A Couple of Seasonal Heads-Ups
Now Is the Time to Book Your Fall Cleanup
Protect your lawn, garden beds, trees and shrubs before freeze-up while setting the stage for a stronger spring. Green Spot Landscapes can handle the leaves, dead growth, fertilizer and winter preparation so you can spend your fall doing virtually anything else.
- Leaf blowing and collection to prevent lawn suffocation and fungal problems
- Fall fertilizer to strengthen roots and improve cold tolerance
- Garden bed cleanup to remove dead growth, weeds and pest shelter
- Power raking to thin thatch and improve moisture penetration
- Tree and shrub winterization with appropriate wrapping and pruning

September Insider Rewards
Green Spot Insider Rewards members can earn double points and access special savings on selected products throughout September. Check out this month’s offers below.
DOUBLE POINTS
Keep Growing with Indoor Edible Gardening
Insiders earn double points on indoor edible gardening supplies throughout September. Grow herbs, microgreens and fresh sprouts in your kitchen all fall and winter with seeds, sprouting kits, grow lights, soil, growing media and fertilizer from The Green Spot.
Growing Microgreens
Fill a shallow tray with damp growing medium, sow seeds densely across the surface and place the tray beneath a grow light. Keep the medium evenly moist without soaking it.
Most microgreens are ready to snip once their first true leaves appear—often in just one to three weeks, depending on the variety.
Using a Sprouting Jar
- Add sprouting seeds to a clean jar and soak them in water according to the seed package directions.
- Drain through the sprouting lid, then rinse with fresh water.
- Drain thoroughly and place the jar at an angle so excess moisture can escape.
- Rinse and drain two or three times daily.
- Harvest when the sprouts reach the desired size, then refrigerate.

DOUBLE POINTS
Back to School with Asobu & Therma Max
Insiders earn double points on Asobu water bottles and tumblers and Therma Max lunch kits throughout September.
Asobu creates playful, functional drinkware with Canadian-developed designs, combining everyday practicality with a little more personality than the standard metal cylinder. Shop Bestie Bottles, Metro Bottles and coffee tumblers for school, work, commuting and everything in between.
Pair your drinkware with a reusable Therma Max insulated lunch bag to keep lunches, snacks and beverages packed together and ready to go—rather than letting a yogurt container and loose apple fend for themselves at the bottom of your bag.
DOUBLE POINTS
Kitchen Towels
Insiders earn double points on kitchen towels throughout September. We have a large new selection on the way, with designs ranging from warm and heartfelt to just cheeky enough to make drying dishes marginally less tedious.
DOUBLE POINTS
Kooringal Hats
Insiders earn double points on Kooringal hats throughout September, with a fresh shipment on the way. Inspired by Australia’s coast and wilderness, Kooringal has designed practical, adventure-ready hats for more than 25 years, including packable styles, everyday essentials and options made for changing conditions.

Prepare Garden Beds for Winter with HealthiStraw
Give garden beds and perennial plantings an extra layer of protection before Manitoba’s freeze-and-thaw cycle gets to work. HealthiStraw GardenStraw is an all-natural, biodegradable wheat-straw mulch that helps insulate soil, protect roots and reduce sudden temperature fluctuations.
Applied in late fall—ideally after the ground has cooled or frozen—it can help prevent repeated thawing and refreezing from pushing shallow-rooted plants out of the soil. It also reduces erosion, supports beneficial soil life and adds organic matter as it breaks down.
Use it around established perennials, vegetables, herbs, fruit shrubs, raised beds and containers. Avoid piling mulch directly against plant crowns or woody stems, where trapped moisture can cause more trouble than the winter weather you were trying to prevent.
