A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach – September 12, 2022 – Cornell Climate Change GardenA Way to Garden with Margaret Roach – September 12, 2022 – Cornell Climate Change Garden

<p>In emails received from many parts of the country, I’m hearing gardeners say the same thing: This year has been really hard. Count me in on those voicing that sentiment.&nbsp;</p> <p>Gardeners know first-hand that climate change isn’t something in the future, but something right here, every day, right now. So I was fascinated to start reading about the<a href="https://cornellbotanicgardens.org/explore/gardens/climate-change-demonstration-garden/"> Climate Change Demonstration Garden at the Cornell Botanic Gardens</a> in Ithaca, New York, where since 2014 the team has been looking at the impacts of a shifting climate on gardens. What they’ve learned so far can help us prepare. </p> <p><a href="https://cals.cornell.edu/sonja-skelly">Sonja Skelly</a> is Director of Education for the Cornell Botanic Gardens and an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Horticulture. She gave me a virtual tour of the Climate Change Demonstration Garden, and we discussed how to make own gardens more resilient in the face of a shifting landscape. </p>
