GARDENER COVERS PLANTS IN ICE TO PROTECT THEM FROM FREEZING
WITH VID
BY JAIANSH SHARMA
Check out this fascinating ice plant gardening technique that sees delicate plants intentionally encased in ice to protect them from freezing temperatures.
Suzanne LeClair, from Boscawen, New Hampshire, USA, captured the unusual sight after overnight temperatures dropped to 24°F.
The video shows perennial plants completely coated in a shimmering layer of ice as the morning sun begins to melt the frozen shell.
Rather than harming the plants, the ice was deliberately created as a protective barrier against the extreme cold, helping to shield the flowers from damaging temperatures.
Suzanne documented both the overnight icing process and the gradual thaw later that day, showcasing the remarkable method used to help the plants survive the freeze.
Suzanne said: “To protect our perennial plants from 24-degree temperatures, we used a method that places a protective layer of ice around them.”
Viewers were intrigued by the unusual gardening technique.
One wrote: “I don’t think anyone in the comments realizes this was an intentional process to save the plants.”
Another added: “Y'all's never watched Tinkerbell: Secret of the Wings.”
