Calgary Gardening - A Year Of Changing Seasons

A Calgary Garden is about the seasons. Gardeners in Calgary should make the most of each season and appreciate what it can do for their Calgary Garden.

Passion is a word that could define a Calgary Gardener

We only have short season to enjoy our gardens in Calgary. So as a Calgary Gardener, I like to make the most of the short gardening season.

The some times drawn out but mild Calgary winters are for reflection. Once should pay attentions to ambitions and desires during the off season.

Spring is a time to enjoy your Calgary Garden.

The warm smell of lilacs permeating many Calgary Gardens on a nice spring day is what I look forward to every year. A passing bee loves to stop from flower to flower collecting nectar from a favorite Calgary garden.

Ecosystems come alive as vibrant colors re-emerge with only a small number of Garden plants.

Your dog suddenly has more energy as he scrambles to get outside to the garden area, on a typical spring day Calgary.

The warmth that spring has to offer is truly an amazing thing.

Maybe winter was invented so that Calgary Gardeners may have time to think about what they are going to do next summer in their garden

Calgary has a growing season of about four to five months. When winter hits, Calgary and city gardeners are used to a phenomenon called a Chinook.

Chinooks are famous for their warming conditions. For some people this is good, but for Calgary Gardeners it means damage to plants and gardens. The precious dormant plants can sometimes be tricked into thinking that it is spring even going so far as starting new tender growth, which can be lethal when the next winter storm hits.

Another issue can be caused by Calgary Chinooks. Warm blowing air from these Calgary Chinooks can cause your plants in your Calgary Garden to lose moisture.

The cedar, a slightly out of zone plant that is found in Calgary is one plant that is particularly vulnerable. It is bested to use burlap to wrap plants such as these.

After all these precautions, spring arrives once again completing yet another cycle.

Another year has come and gone, the birth of spring is upon us, again.

Oh how the time flies!

And us Gardeners, we love nature so there is appreciate to be had for all seasons, even with winter and her sister the Chinook .

Calgary Gardeners rejoice and have a good winter to relax, reconnect and enjoy planning your garden space for next summer.

On the other hand, it might makes some sense to invest in some indoor plants to help with your inspirations.

Happy Gardening!
