Our Subarctic Community Garden Walkthrough, Midnight Sun Grown!
Something a little different, this is a full walkthrough of our 1,700 square foot community garden this year. This is our eighth season in this plot, we're quickly approaching the first decade that we've worked this soil!
We figured you all might like an actual tour of one of our subarctic gardens, grown at just shy of 65N. This garden is technically in zone USDA zone 2A, experiencing -50F/-45C temperatures over winter. It's possible to perennialize a number of food bearing plants here, but we exclusively focus on growing annual, preservation focused and low maintenance foods here.
Community gardening can be challenging. Managing a garden that's not near to where you live has some unique challenges. Although we don't talk about it, much of what's going on here is deeply rooted in the concepts of permaculture. In regards to the zone concept within permaculture, this is conceptually like our "third" zone. Intensively grown, high density yet low upkeep. Our other, more intensive and more involved gardens are much closer to our home, whereas this garden is low maintenance and only requires visits every few days.
We've been community gardeners for a long time now, starting to approach two decades now. We enjoy providing guidance to our fellow cold climate growers and being a part of our local growing community. We have an awesome community garden (Fairbanks Community Garden, or FCG) and are honored to participate in the governing structure of it!
As always, if you have any questions, do put them down below. You can always find a ton more cold climate gardening focused information on our website, https://FrostyGarden.com
