Hardy Plants to Survive Billings Weather with Liz Francis

Hardy Plants to place around your home that will survive Montana Weather with Liz Francis

Gardening in Montana can have its challenges. With unpredictable weather, temperatures dropping a degree a minute can make soil so cold that roots quickly shrivel. Winds can push and crack trees & our neighborhood critters, like elk or deer, rabbits, and voles, tend to LOVE our garden treats. So how can we keep up with our crazy weather?

Perennials! They will become your new best friend!

Build your garden around hardy, resourceful plants that can stand up to nature when it is being a bully.
