Nunavut Planting Zones
The territory of Nunavut is a vast and striking landscape, stretching across the Canadian Arctic with icy coastlines, tundra plains, and remote northern communities. While gardening in Nunavut presents unique challenges due to its extreme climate, innovative approaches—especially greenhouse gardening—are opening new doors for northern growers. Most of Nunavut falls within plant hardiness zones 0a to 1b, among the coldest in Canada.
