How to help your garden withstand #ClimateChange #HealthySoils and diverse, perennial plants can help your garden beds survive #ExtremeWeather like #floods and #droughts. March 13, 2026 "The days are getting longer, and spring is around the corner. For many home gardeners, it’s a time of hope and anticipation. "So it’s the perfect time to plan how to help your flower beds thrive as climate change brings more extreme and unpredictable weather. "Marsden: 'Flooding, droughts, heat, cold, all the extreme weather we’re seeing is going to impact plants.' "That’s Christy Marsden of the University of Minnesota #ClimateAdaptation Partnership. "She says one of the most important things you can do is get your soil tested and then take steps to improve your soil health – for example, by adding #compost. Healthier soil retains more water during droughts, and it’s less likely to erode during heavy storms. "Marsden also suggests growing a wider mix of flowers than you might have grown before, with varieties that thrive in a range of conditions. "And she recommends relying more on perennial plants, which come back every year, and less on annuals. Marsden: “Perennials are more able to withstand some of those extremes because they have deeper roots. They’re more established.” "So while climate change is a challenge, she says by being flexible and trying new things, you can still grow a beautiful garden in a warming world."

118 mm of rain. Flooded basements. Roads underwater. Ottawa’s Canada Day deluge was more than awful weather...it was a warning and a to-do list. What households and governments should do next: https://open.substack.com/pub/blakeamhamilton/p/ottawas-canada-day-deluge-was-a-warning?r=4lxgue&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true #Ottawa #Flooding #ClimateAdaptation

📰 Community-built Habitats are Helping Save a Threatened Frog 🌱 Arizona: Volunteers and agencies construct ponds to restore habitat for the endangered Chiricahua leopard frog. 🌽 These human-made water systems counter drought, disease, and habitat loss that pushed the species toward extinction. 🤝 A collaborative conservation effort showing how local action and simple infrastructure can revive vulnerable species. 🔗 https://insideclimatenews.org/news/27062026/efforts-to-save-threatened-frog-in-arizona/ #SolarPunkSunday #WildlifeConservation #Wildlife #EcologicalRestoration #Frogs #HabitatRestoration #CommunityAction #Biodiversity #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateResilience
