Growing in British Columbia
British Columbia gardeners get the best results by matching plant choices to the local hardiness zone and frost dates, building healthy soil with compost each spring, and timing planting around the last spring frost. Cool-season crops and hardy perennials are the dependable backbone of a British Columbia garden, with tender crops started indoors and transplanted once the danger of frost has passed.
