[IBC] Starting a garden
Do you mean a bonsai collection or a garden which has bonsai-styled trees
in the ground? In either case, I would recommend using trees which are native to Alberta. Trees grown in the ground are much hardier than those grown in pots or trays. This indicates that, if you want to work with potted trees, you will need some way to protect them over the winter. The same species, grown in the ground, will survive much more easily than the potted ones. This is because trees in the ground develop a widespread root system, ramifying deeply into the soil. In winter, if you dig dowm even a few inches, you will find the soil several degrees warmer than the surface.

I'm not a bad gardener (perennials, grasses, vegetables, etc.) Can anyone point me in the right direction to start or does anyone have any tips. By the way, I live in Alberta, which can have fairly severe winters (-40).
