Adrien Debes

Passionate about botany and northern gardening since my adolescence, I founded Eden Boreal to fill a glaring gap: serious horticultural resources, adapted to the Canadian climatic context, available in both French and English.

Based in Montreal, I garden in zone 5b and experiment each season with new species in my test garden. Every plant profile published on Eden Boreal is the result of verified botanical research and direct field observation.
