Hi! We’re Chris and Matilda — two passionate gardeners with a love for growing food in some of the world’s most challenging climates.
We created this blog to share practical, proven advice for growing vegetables, herbs, and fruits in cool, northern regions like Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and Scotland. With years of hands-on experience in container gardening and organic methods, we know what it takes to coax a bountiful harvest from short seasons, unpredictable weather, and stubborn soil.
Whether you’re working with a tiny balcony in Oslo or a backyard in rural Nova Scotia, our goal is to help you grow more confidently — and more successfully — in your own unique climate. We’re here to share tips, troubleshoot problems, and celebrate the quiet joys of growing your own food in the north.
Welcome to our garden!
