We get asked this a lot: what happens on a tree farm in the winter?

Winter is preparation. It’s a tight window to get ready for the season ahead.

If we’re not set by the time spring hits, we’re already behind.

Prairie hardy isn’t a slogan. It’s a stress test.

Out here, plant material doesn’t grow in perfect conditions. It’s exposed to sudden temperature swings, deep freezes, drying winds, and the kind of weather shifts most regions never see.

A Chinook is a warm, dry wind that can push winter temperatures above zero in a matter of hours. Sounds nice, until the root ball warms up enough to think it’s spring. Once that happens, buds start to push. Then the cold snaps back. That tender new growth dies.

That’s why fall watering matters. A properly saturated root ball freezes in solid and stays stable. Even during warm Chinook days, moisture helps regulate soil temperature and prevents premature wake-ups.

When we say prairie hardy, we mean plants that have survived this cycle — not just looked good in a greenhouse.

Bracing, again, for the cold.

Sun, wind, snow.

Texture. Light. Prairie hardy plant material.

The simple things.

The old elm in your yard? It still needs guidance.

Strategic pruning protects structure, reduces risk, and preserves the character that took decades to grow.

If you care about the long-term health of your tree, watch this.

We had a serious data problem.

We had late data.
We had missing data.
We had unavailable data.

And we needed to be able to have the information at our fingertips to make the right decisions on the fly.

This is the story of how we built a system that serves our team and our clients with the efficiency, clarity, and organization we were missing.

How to take care of “sleeping” trees in the winter.

Cold months aren’t downtime, they’re when small decisions make a big difference come spring.

A little protection now goes a long way toward long-term health.

In this video, we break down what black knot is, how it spreads, and why proper pruning and timing matter if you want to protect the long-term health of your landscape.

If you’re seeing swollen, tar-like growths on your trees, it’s already time to act—not later.

Jon walks us through winter pruning for deciduous varieties, from newly planted liners to more established trees.

As the sun dips low, Alberta’s skies ignite—streaked with fire, crisp silhouettes cutting across the horizon, and the Rockies standing sentinel in the west. We love where we live.

PART THREE |

👀 We've been sitting on this series for a little while. Now, it's time to share it.

This project has been a year in the making, the culmination of patience, partnership, and a whole lot of man hours.

And it all started with a simple conversation.

A shared vision.

All year, our teams have been keeping an eye out for the perfect yard. The perfect situation. The perfect recipient. Our intent? To bless someone with a backyard tailored to their unique mobility needs and lifestyle.

It wasn't until late in the season that we found them.

Here's our shared story.

From the start.

Sincerely,
Prairie Outpost & Foothills Nurseries
