How do horticultural organisms handle the extreme’s of nature? 

The Growing Season pulls the curtains back on the amazing abilities of the plants in your gardens.

Lightning kicks the show off. Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland discuss the ins and outs of lightning and how it’s managed on your property.

How many people die per year as a result of interactions with lightning?

You’ve seen a tree growing through a chain link fence. How does the tree survive?  The McFarland’s explain. 

Salt. Uh oh.

Not salt on your food but salt on your plants. How do plants deal with a salty environment? 

Are there plants available that are salt tolerant.  The McFarlands bring a list with them. 

Wind can be problematic for plants. The Growing Season trio explain the ins and outs of something called “reaction wood” and how it ties into wind.

Which large trees handle high wind environments the best?  You’ll be surprised to learn.

Forest fires and controlled burns are discussed. The Coastal Redwood comes into focus.

Tune in.
