Tawnaree Gardens has expended much time and effort to test and produce field grown specimens fully capable of withstanding our climatic extremes.

They are tested for typical conditions found in Eastern Ontario, Western Quebec, and Northeastern United States. They can withstand the wind and temperature extremes as well as varying moisture conditions often found in the area over the years (droughts and floods). This would be comparable to North American Zone 4 and above.

Care has been taken to cultivate the soil with minimal environmental impact. Horses were used for plowing and preparing the land. Gardening functions are scheduled at times in the year to reduce soil compaction and promote healthy root growth. Various mulches are used to control the moisture content of soil.
