A look at the harvest at Jig Bee Flower Farm in Kensington

Owner Cassie Plummer harvests marigolds for florist orders at the Jig Bee Flower Farm. Plummer noted that the growing season in the city is about a month longer than in the suburbs, due to the heat island effect. They also don't have to deal with pests like deer or voles.
