Weather and Climate
Where the gardens grow
No garden grows in isolation. Plants are surrounded by air, soil, humidity and sun. How do different climates and weather conditions affect our garden? And how do different plants thrive or survive in various climates?
How’s the Weather?
- What type of climate do you live in?
- What plants do you commonly see around you?
- How do these plants survive when the weather changes?
- What kinds of plants don’t survive near you? Do you know why?

Let’s explore how the weather and climate will affect how our garden grows.
