Windbreaks & Rows: Protecting Our Flowers from the Breeze
Tall, sturdy-stemmed flowers like sunflowers, along with the raised mound garden at the car park end of our farm, serve an important role as natural windbreaks. These protective barriers help shield more delicate varieties from strong winds, keeping their stems upright and minimizing damage.
Fun Fact: Windbreaks help create gentle microclimates, which can reduce plant stress and encourage longer blooming periods!
