Flowerbed Details

We go clockwise around the house, starting at the front of the house, around the garage to the South. Then via the backside and the North side back to the front. We use mainly perennials, with some shrubs and a few annuals for added colours. Due to the dynamic nature we have left out the annuals and bulbs in this overview.

T.B.D. Add pictures of mature flowerbeds and perennials.

Our environment

Before we give some details of what we are growing on our acreage, it is important to understand the environment. We live outside of Calgary in the North-West at an elevation of 4,250 feet or 1,295 meters. Our lot measures 70 meters North-South and 120 meters East-West. On average we have frost from September 15 until May 23, which gives us a 3½ month growing season. The ground heats up pretty slow as the land predominantly slopes towards the North. Our highest point is the South-West corner where we have our picnic table for that beautiful wide view. From there it slopes down to the North and the East. The lowest point is indeed on the North side where we have a seasonal pond. An ideal place for ducks and plovers.

Our main goals for the yard

Attractive for ourselves and for others looking at our yard.
A heaven for birds.
Low maintenance, i.e. minimum of annual planting, trimming, watering, mowing, etc.
Perennials, shrubs and trees suitable for zones 3 or 2, and only a few zone 4 plant material.
First choice is always plant material suitable for Alberta's Chinook type climate.
