Summer in Canada brings sunshine, warmth—and for many in UP Parivaar, the joy of gardening. Whether it’s tulsi on the balcony or bhindi in the backyard, gardening connects us to our roots in Uttar Pradesh.
Despite Canada’s short growing season and occasional frosts, many Indian vegetables and flowers thrive with a little care. Community favourites include methi, karela, coriander, and vibrant marigolds and zinnias.
A few helpful tips from members:
- Start seeds indoors early to extend the season
- Use containers or raised beds for better soil control
- Involve kids—it’s a great way to bond and build habits
Gardening isn’t just about the harvest. It’s about staying rooted in culture, creating calm, and sharing joy with family.
🌼 We’d love to see your gardens! Share your photos for our UP Parivaar gallery!
