PLEASE SUBSCRIBE if you are wanting to know more on gardening in Canada & gardening in Colder Climates in general. My methods apply to the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 1 - Zone 6. As a soil scientist I always try to incorporate science into my videos. Soil science can be over complicated so allow me to guide you.
Leave a comment and let me know where your are gardening. And let me know what videos you would like to see in the future!
Ashley is an agronomist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley’s interests are UA-cam, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s UA-cam channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her UA-cam channel as well as her reach to up and coming gardeners.

"Gardening in Canada is an extreme sport" 😂❤
I am in Calgary, Alberta and I grow in containers. Plastic storage totes, plastic barrels that I cut in half, plastic grocery totes, a laundry hamper, tires, 2 gallon and 5 gallon buckets, and large plant pots. I elevate them on 2 x 4's so they are off the ground because I have my garden on grass and find grass sprouting at the bottom of my containers trying to come up to the top. Elevating them stops this from happening. Our last frost according to Farmer's Almanac is June 17th, but according to everyone I talk to they say here we can start during the May long weekend. When I look it up our zone is 3b/4a. I also keep track of the night time temperatures. If it rarely goes below 0C then I will plant the cold hardy vegetables that can take a bit of frost. When it rarely goes below about 10C then I plant out the cold hardy but can't take frost, vegetables. And, when it hovers around the upper teens and 20C plus, it is then safe to plant the warmer plants. I start 90% of them in my own greenhouse that I made with two black resin shelves wrapper on 3 sides with aluminum foil and a clear plastic tablecloth. I purchased some T5 lights, one for each shelf and it cost me alot less then a store bought greenhouse. That's my story and I am sticking to it! Hahaha! Hope this helps those that are struggling. Love your channel Ashley! Keep up the great job your are doing.
is she still single?
So happy to have found you. I was tired of only seeing gardening in California.
I was today years old when I learned from this video that the Canadian plant hardiness zones are different from the US ones! 😱😱Thank you for this knowledge bomb, and for others in this vid! Glad to say I got the 1000th like. :) From Victoria BC!
I agree that gardening is an extreme sport since I broke my wrist while gardening. Just finishing up with some mulch and stepped on a stone that rolled and I tumbled down a hill. I don’t recommend it. 😂
Bought a house 2 years ago with a massive garden in Winnipeg Manitoba. I have zero experience with gardening.. Soo many questions and things to learn! So glad to have found this channel.!!!!
I’m in Kitchener Ontario, my veggies are indoors under lights, I have a vacation day on Wednesday and am getting 4 yards of soil delivered! May 9th can’t come soon enough!
From Vancouver, British Columbia. We bought a townhouse Fall 2019., Fortunately being a corner unit, we got some extra space to enjoy gardening. As a beginner, last summer, I learnt a few things- its good to have a theme to your garden in small space which synchronizes everything. Using vertical gardening on fences and railings and giving your garden a personal touch. Investing in flowering vines. And also, pruning dead leaves and flowers ( specially annuals) timely maintains the beauty of your garden. Lastly, keeping one color for all the pots in the garden. This year I have kept all my pots in earthen-red color, trust me it gives an amazing look to the garden.

I'm from Prince Albert sask. I do it like my mother did for all her life. Sometime after may long throw your seeds in and stand back and grow. Well not quite that easy but listen to this lady and she'll give you good tips. I watched her and canadian prepper and learned how to grow monster potatoes
Zone 3 (sometimes 2b) and my garden goes out around the long weekend in may....but with covered gardens it could be sooner. I've seen snow here every month but june/july/august so always keep old sheets around for covering. But I do love my raspberries, dwarf carmine jewel cherries and strawberries as perennial fruits.
Cold Lake Alberta here ! Loving your channel.
Love that Canadian prepper had you on. I recently bought a place up in the mountains here in US and it’s a totally different growing season then where I live presently.
Recent subscriber but I'd say Intermediate gardener from Saskatchewan (zone 3)! I come from a family of avid gardeners and started my own plots as a teenager. Now, in my first house, I'm working on converting more of the yard to garden space, cuz it's never enough lol.
Marmora Ontario zone 5 🇨🇦 love your channel! We bought a house in cottage country in the northern part of southern Ontario… much different than the big towns we grew up in… a lot more snow! 🥶 I’m attempting winter sowing some seeds and doing some indoors to get a jump on the season… but I think most will be done in march and April..
Thank you so much for this! I am a complete beginner, who knows little more than "plants need water and dirt, the dirt needs nutrients and some air space, sunburns and freezing to death are bad for plants". I did have to stop and google some of the terms you were using like "deadheading" and "hardening off", but at least now I know I'm in Zone 4a and what that even means! Gonna keep poring over your videos so I have the best possible chance once we plan some stuff outside in June :)
In Canada there are many zones. Some places like the prairies have nice warm nights and great soil, so gardens grow great, where I live in central BC the nights are very cool,so garden covers are very helpful. Yet in some more Northern parts they grow pretty good gardens because of long daylight, so gardens get lots of light. Then in Okanagan it gets really hot, and of course Vancouver coastal mild, longer summers. I’m not as familiar with eastern parts but I know there is big variety there as well. So many varieties, just have to learn what grows good in your area and what soil amendments are required.
Im watching form St. John's, Newfoundland. I only discovered you in the last six months. I love the content you bring. I consider myself to be an intermediate gardener. I try to push the envelope when gardening in my climate. Our last frost date is mid June so a very short season here. Thank you for what you bring to the table, you definitely provide through provoking information and it's nice to follow someone who doesn't get wrapped up in the glam.
It is now the NEXT gardening season....and I'm happy to have found your channel. I enjoy a zone 5 growing season in south central BC. I'm, once again, full of hopes and dreams for another gardening season......
