Ozaukee Master Gardners Presents: Weather and Climate

Description

Drier summers, warmer winters, and everything in-between, Wisconsin’s weather and climate are changing. Among the first to experience these shifts are gardeners.

Join Assistant State Climatologist Bridgette Mason to learn about what’s changing and how it affects our growing season. Using research-based science, Mason has been observing significant trends of warmer temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and longer growing seasons. Her presentation offers gardeners guidance in navigating changes in the plant hardiness zones, chill hours, and heat and drought stress.
