Over five fun and informative evenings, we’ll explore design principles, Yukon’s unique seasons, soils, and climate, and dive into purposeful planting—whether you’re dreaming of wild, vibrant colours, focused on food security and harvesting, or somewhere in between.
Topics include:
- Design principles
- Seasonal planning
- Food security
- Garden and greenhouse growing
- Climate adaptation
- Landscape design
Led by Randy Lewis and special Yukon Green Thumb guests, you’ll benefit from decades of experience—over 50+ growing seasons combined! If you’ve visited Decora, you know Randy and the team are always ready to help design and guide your growing season. This is your chance to plan your spaces and prepare for the year ahead.
We’ll also cover how to integrate biodiversity, support pollinators, and make the most of both small and large spaces. Whether you’re growing food, creating a relaxing retreat, or simply want to get your hands in the dirt and soak up some vitamin D, the Your Yukon Oasis series offers practical tools, hands-on practice, and personalized ideas to help you succeed.
