Local expert gardener Jill Serocki in Bozeman, Montana, is gearing up for the unpredictable spring weather that the state is known for. With early planting already underway, Serocki is using her 14 years of gardening experience to navigate the challenges of Montana’s climate, including hail and sudden temperature changes.
Her husband recently built a new greenhouse to expand her gardening capabilities, allowing for more control over the growing environment. Meanwhile, co-owner of the Garden Barn, Josh Marks, encourages gardeners to take a chance on early planting for the potential of larger plants.
As the Garden Barn celebrates its 10th anniversary, they are expanding their offerings and growing most of the plants they sell to share their knowledge of what thrives in Montana’s conditions. For those eager to start planting, Serocki advises starting with cold-hardy vegetables like broccoli and spinach, emphasizing the importance of patience when dealing with Montana’s rough weather.
Overall, Montana gardeners are finding ways to adapt and thrive in the face of unpredictable spring weather, with the reward of homegrown produce making it all worthwhile.
