Over the past 50 years human alteration of the Earth’s climate has accelerated rapidly. We need to get smarter about gardening in an era of weather unpredictability. Embracing native plant species resilient to local climate shifts can help gardeners significantly contribute to environmental preservation. This years’ conference focuses on looking at various approaches to the weather related challenges we may face as we nurture our own gardens and landscape.

Dr. Trent Ford: “Landscape Management Challenges and Nature-Based Solutions in a Changing Climate”
