As the climate becomes more unpredictable, farmers and gardeners alike need to learn how to adjust to the challenges, from heat waves and droughts, to heavy rains and frosts, to new competing insects showing up on your veggies. Farmer Jimmy Videle has farmed in varied climates, from Arizona to Quebec. He’ll share his strategies for protecting your harvests even when the climate is challenging, and how we can diversify our plantings and work with nature to have resilient gardens and farms.
