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."

This is my current rabbit hole 🤩

People using simple methods to harvest storm water, heal landscapes, prevent erosion and floods, capture water for ecosystems and neighbourhoods alike...

It's a humble mindset that invites awe and wonder while being light-hearted and rollling up their sleeves like "ok let's DO THIS!" and not letting the coloniser/capitalist mindset get in the way. Seeing things get better than seemed possible before. But it is happening.

A ‘crisis communication gap’ threatens #IndigenousPeoples

Dionne Phillips
Updated Tue, July 14, 2026

Excerpt: "Sara Wilson, a graduate communications researcher from Simon Fraser University in Canada, calls this a 'crisis communication gap' — something she highlighted in a submission to EMRIP's conflict study. Wilson previously worked in communications for the province of British Columbia's forest, land, and natural resources department, and also serves as a senior communications associate with Canada's National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation. Her research spotlights underfunding, language erasure from public systems, and exclusion from decision-making during crisis situations. Wilson cites devastating #wildfires and #floods as examples of dangerous communication failures.

"In a report analyzing its response to 2023 wildfires, the government of the #NorthwestTerritories listed numerous concerns about how authorities communicated during the fire with #Indigenous individuals whose first language is not English. Its Official Languages Act recognizes 11 languages, but the government's alerts are issued only in English and French.

"On its website, the government highlights its working relationship with Indigenous governments, organizations, and communities to 'co-develop and establish bilateral emergency and communications protocols, as requested, before the 2026 wildfire season.' Government officials did not respond to emails asking what stage of the process they are in. Its website notes that in the interim they have 'developed an Emergency Response Event Communication Protocol with Indigenous Governments to ensure clear communication between Indigenous Governments and the GNWT during emergency events.'

"A paper published earlier this year by #ClimateCardinals, a youth-led climate organization, revealed that the overwhelming majority of the world's scientific publications are written in English. It argues that without more inclusive language, 'up to 6.5 billion people risk exclusion from climate policy, disaster preparedness, and access to critical information.'

"In #Aotearoa #NewZealand, #Māori communities have been hit by increasingly devastating storms, like #CycloneGabrielle, which hit the country in February 2023, causing 11 deaths and billions of dollars in damage.

"The cyclone exposed some key barriers to effective communication, according to a study released by Te Whāriki Manawāhine O Hauraki, a community resource center. It also praised the Māori-led mobilization to assist those impacted by the storm, which included setting up community centers. 'A truly effective response requires more than collaboration, it demands a #Tiriti-based framework [based on the Treaty of Waitangi] where Māori exercise decision-making authority over disaster preparedness and response in their own communities,' it reads.

"Throughout Monday's session in Geneva, Indigenous delegates highlighted the potential of Indigenous knowledge and argued that better resources and communication would benefit the entire world."
