Hey there!
I'm Steven Biggs
I'm a cold-climate fig expert, horticulturist, and former horticulture instructor with Durham and George Brown Colleges in Canada.
I wrote the award-winning book Grow Figs Where You Think You Can’t.
I interview fig enthusiasts through my work as a horticultural journalist and host of the award-winning Food Garden Life Show. I’ve written about figs in cold climates for publications such as Fine Gardening and Garden Making magazines.
I’ve been giving workshops and doing interviews about growing figs in cold climates since 2011. (But my infatuation with figs took off in 1993, as I spent a summer growing—and taste-testing!—figs at the nursery with the UK National Collection of figs.
I’d love it if you join me to geek out on a smorgasbord of ideas to successfully grow figs in cold climates.
