OFRE: Operation Fruit Rescue Edmonton

Your yard is not one climate. It is a collection of warm corners, frost pockets, wind tunnels, and sheltered spots that behave differently from each other, sometimes by several degrees.

Most gardeners never map those differences, so they plant everywhere the same way and wonder why results are inconsistent.

This article breaks down how to find and use those zones to protect your plants, extend your growing season, and make better decisions about what goes where in your yard.

Join us April 15 for a live workshop where Winston Gamache teaches you how to apply this in your own Edmonton yard.

It's online, so you can attend from anywhere in Canada.
