Calgary Albera is defined by seasons. So are the gardens found in Calgary. Most importantly, if you are a gardener, make the most of each season in your garden.
Most Gardeners and especially in Calgary (I know because I live there)are a passionate breed of people.
Due to the quick blast of spring summer and fall, we only have a small amount of time to enjoy our gardens in Calgary. Because of this, I like to make the most out of the gardening season.
Calgary is know more long, but mild winters, so one should pay attention to the ambitions and plan for your garden. Reflection is what winter time is for.
Spring is a time to enjoy your Calgary Garden.
The tastes, smells, sights, textures and sounds of a garden in Calgary on a warm spring day can be truly amazing. I look forward to this time every single year.
Color and life thrive in the mini ecosystem a Calgary Gardener will accomplish, with just a few garden plants.
Your pets suddenly have more energy as you let them outside to play around the garden, on a warm spring day in Calgary.
Oh yes, spring. It is a wonderful thing.
I am sure that winter was designed so that Calgary Gardeners could plan, plan, plan so that when spring finally arrives, it makes it that much better.
The Calgary Growing season is about four to five months. A common weather incident is Calgary is known as a chinook.
They cause the temperature to increase a few degrees in the winter, which you’d think would be good, but for Gardens Calgary, they are bad. Damage can be caused to some Calgary Garden plants because they sometimes think spring is coming. This is especially bad for out of zone Calgary Garden Plants.
Another problem associated with a Chinook is the wind. Fast winds can dry out certain plants in the winter time.
Cedars are one particular Calgary garden plant that should be wrapped with burlap if you want any hope whatsoever of survival.
After the winter season in Calgary, spring arrives and gardens rejoice with life.
Perennials that have sat silent for months explode with color.
Trees and shrubs that have stood cold all winter, get to breath fresh air and bask in a typical Calgary sunny day.
As for us gardeners, nature is dear, so we learn to appreciate winter & fall for what they are.
Calgary Gardeners rejoice and have a good winter to relax, reconnect and enjoy planning your garden space for next summer.
Or maybe if it is winter, get some indoor plants and create an indoor Calgary Garden!
Good luck with your offseason efforts!
