Climate Friendly Gardening Featuring Jim Little and Molly van der Burch

Master Gardeners Jim Little and Molly van der Burch will discuss the impact of climate change on our gardens and landscapes and how we can adapt to those changes. They'll describe how we can make our gardening more climate-friendly by reducing our gardening greenhouse gas emissions and by storing atmospheric CO2 in plants and soil via photosynthesis. Jim and Molly will also point you to some resources that can guide you in making your own garden climate friendly.
