Native Plants: Calgary's Climate-Resilient Garden Solution
Description
Gardeners in Calgary are embracing native plants like bee balm, wild bergamot, and giant wild rye to combat chinooks, droughts, and potential water restrictions. These plants not only thrive in the local climate but also support local wildlife and pollinators, such as monarch butterflies. Horticulturist Kath Smyth showcases an eco-friendly, low-maintenance garden with deep-rooted trees, shrubs, and rain gardens. The City of Calgarys YardSmart program offers free resources for creating water-smart, pollinator-friendly yards, benefiting the environment and your wallet.
