Description

The Climate Change Garden is about working with the natural world to create a productive, low-maintenance, climate-savvy garden that's capable of standing strong against the effects of a changing climate. You'll learn how to:

  • Adapt your plant selections, planting practices and garden maintenance techniques for the new future
  • Select vegetable and fruit varieties that are more adaptable to weather extremes and more capable of resisting pests and diseases
  • Find ways to manage excess storm water runoff and minimize the heat island effect
  • Foster wildlife and discover the importance of creating a safe haven for these creatures in a changing world
  • Use season extenders like cold frames, high tunnels and row covers to protect edible plants from weather events
  • Take measures to reduce your garden's carbon footprint, including going no-till, building a green roof and composting
  • Limit the risks from wind, frost, and snow by taking advantage of microclimates, planting wind breaks and physically protecting plants
  • Plant more of the right trees for your future climate to help cool your home, slow the movement of water and hold soil in place
