Gardening in Dubai has its challenges with the scorching desert heat and high humidity of the summer months. But for 8 months out of the year (October to May), the climate can support a wide range of plants and vegetables including many cool weather crops.
We just do things a bit backwards here. While people in other parts of the globe are winding down their gardening activities due to frost, we are starting our planting season. And when we wind down our growing season in May due to heat, others in the North Hemisphere are starting their planting season. There are also many plants that can survive the harsh desert environment and can be grown year-round.
If you are new to gardening (or new to gardening in Dubai), you may have a lot of questions on the topic and I’ve put together a bunch of frequently asked questions (FAQs) to help you on your journey.
