Ready, Set, Grow!

This is typically THE weekend when Calgary gardeners get the green light to put in some long awaited garden work. Of course, every spring is different so we have to take into account factors like weather, the conditions of our tools and soil, and our own health before we get started.

Learn how to transition safely and effectively into the garden this year with tips from our experienced horticulturist, Colin Hayles!

Colin started his adventures in the world of horticulture back in 1997. Working as a landscaper in Montreal he got his horticulture diploma from the University of Guelph through an applied sciences degree. Eventually, Colin made it to YYC where he happened to end up working at Golden Acre Home & Garden. With over 20 years of experience all across Canada, he has developed a love of all things nature and gardening and is still the least famous or impressive person in his family.
