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."
