Gardening in a Changing Climate – A Conversation on Zoom!
October 15 / 5-6:30pm
This will be a facilitated discussion to reflect upon the challenges of this season and collectively discuss nature-based solutions for mitigating and adapting to climate change, specifically for small-scale growers. The 2024 growing season included unprecedented weather patterns – heat waves, excessive rainfall, floods – and the accompanying pest pressure and disease spread in gardens. We will acknowledge those challenges and then focus on resiliency. What regionally adapted varieties are you growing in your garden? How are you shifting planting calendars based on first and last frost dates? What strategies are you using to manage emerging pests? How have your soil health practices changed over time? And so much more!
