The Recording of our March 19th, 2024 webinar, The Risks of Climate Change for the Home Garden with Kimberly Bell, is now available.

About the webinar: In this webinar, NANPS board member Kimberly Bell discusses the implications of climate change on the home garden. Listen as she goes through what to expect from climate change in Ontario over the next 25 years, its associated risks for gardening (including your health), and what we can do to soften the impacts on our gardens. Recommendations are included on growing techniques (e.g. for maximum vegetable yields) and safety measures for a successful and safe home garden.
