Are you curious about adapting your garden to the changing climate?
Learn about how climate change affects how we grow in Maine, and how gardeners can adapt their gardening practices to mitigate the effects of climate change on their harvest while supporting their local ecosystem. In this webinar, Sean Birkel, Maine State Climatologist and Research Assistant Professor at the University of Maine Climate Change Institute, will speak about how climate change will be affecting different regions in Maine. Then, MOFGA’s Organic Crop & Conservation Specialist, Caleb Goosen will discuss what these changes mean for gardeners and dig into the foundations of climate-adapted garden design, beginning with soil health.
This class is the first in a series on climate change-adapted gardening. MOFGA and our partners will be holding one a month from February-May, with more to come in the fall. Check back on our event calendar to sign up for the other webinars in this series as they’re posted! Plus, check out the University of Maine Cooperative Extension’s webinar event page for some additional gardening & climate adaptation learning opportunities.
