Winter is just about here but The Growing Season asks the question: "Can you garden in areas like Antarctica, The Arctic, The North Pole and other sub-zero climates?" Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland dive into the plants that survive and thrive in environments that get way, way, wayyyy below zero. What do deserts and sub-zero environments have in common?  More than you think. Arctic willow, sedges, grasses, potatoes, cabbage, garlic and a question about White Pines covers the bases for plants. What is silica and how does it tie into sub-zero horticulture? You'll be surprised to learn the medical requirements and restrictions in place for those looking to work in a research station in Antarctica.  Its almost science fiction-esque. Arctic bumblebees, nose bot flies and the arctic dance fly are just some of the insects that get the spotlight.  Looking to book a consult for your property?  We'd love to help.  CLICK HERE.
