Topic: "Gardening in a Changing Climate"
In the Pacific Northwest, we've always had a Mediterranean climate but current trends are for drier, hotter summers and cooler, wetter winters. What does that mean for us as gardeners? Are some of our favorite techniques no longer appropriate? Should we be considering new or different approaches to ensure success? How can we adjust our gardening practices to transition into our 'new normal'?
