Hey there!

I'm Steven Biggs

Horticulturist and cold-climate fig expert

I'm a cold-climate fig expert, horticulturist, and former horticulture instructor with Durham and George Brown Colleges in Canada. Get me started talking about figs, and I have a hard time stopping. 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.
