Growing in Cape Breton means learning to work with a short season, unpredictable weather, and a landscape that sets its own limits – often with more limited access to supplies and resources than gardeners in larger markets.
We’ve put together a list of resources to support gardeners across the island, from seed suppliers to useful references. This list will be updated annually, and we’re always happy to hear about resources we may have missed.
