Hi! I鈥檓 Kristen, the Zone 3 gardener behind Shifting Roots, where I help new cold-climate gardeners grow beautiful, productive gardens in a short growing season. From cold-hardy cut flowers and easy veggies to low-maintenance perennials, I share practical tips and small-space strategies like vertical, raised bed, and square-foot gardening鈥攁ll inspired by my backyard gardening roots. Now that I garden on a Saskatchewan acreage, I also take you behind the scenes of my flower farming journey, sharing what works, lessons learned, and everything in between. Grab a coffee (or tea!), and let鈥檚 grow together! 馃尡
