Why it matters
Garden design in Poland's climate
Poland's climate sits between maritime and continental. Winters can reach −25 °C in eastern regions; summers regularly exceed 30 °C. Soil moisture management and frost-hardy species selection are central to any planting plan.
In central Poland the last frost risk clears around mid-April. This 6–8 week window before summer heat sets in is when soil preparation and new planting deliver the best results.
