If you are resident of Alberta or reclamation Calgary you must be waiting to get your hands dirty in
the mud in your garden this spring. Yes, the winter seems to have finally turned
its back here and is gone for a while so let’s make hay while we can and get
our garden for the season underway. There are a range of Alberta trees to choose from as well which love to grow in its home
soil and thrive in its natural environment. There is a vast range to choose
from whether they are trees or large shrubs, vines or short shrubs and they
come in a variety of foliage colours from shades of green to silver to yellow
greens as they look up at the sun shining down on them.
Boost to the plants
All the plants you will come across at Bow Point Nursery or
the series of Alberta trees, they
have all been grown using the sustainable growth process where they are started
using seeds from naturally grown plants. The best and healthiest plants are
taken and the seeds used to grow a new range of plants using the natural growth
process. The nursery believes in using the soil beds to grow the plants and not
container gardening as is a common sight across the country. Here the plant is
grown in soil that has been enriched with compost rich in nutrients that give a
boost to the plants.
Growing in compost also means that the plants do not require
excessive watering as they get all their nutrition and moisture from the soil
itself. Once the plants are ready to be sold, it is taken out without any soil
and sold bare root. The compost however is left behind to feed the next crop
that is grown there. The plants here are healthier are take to their new
environment in your garden a lot faster and with minimal fussing needed.
