Special Thank you to Women’s Empowerment Outreach Board Member Deanna Waters

Manitoba’s planting zones vary significantly due to its vast size and diverse climate. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

Zone 1b: Found in the far northern regions of Manitoba.
Zone 2: Covers much of the northern and central parts of the province.
Zone 3: Includes central and southern Manitoba.
Zone 4a: Found in the southernmost regions, with a small area falling into this category.

Winnipeg, the capital city, is specifically in Zone 3a, characterized by cold temperature extremes reaching -40°F. This means that plants rated for Hardiness Zones 3a or lower can thrive in Winnipeg’s climate.

What is a USANA Garden Tower?
