Climate Gardens is creating interest in adapting to climate change through gardeners personally experiencing the effects of increasingly weird weather in their gardens, right outside their back door.
With record breaking heatwaves happening every summer in the UK, gardeners are being challenged to adapt to climate change in their own gardens and can observe these dramatic changes every day. Most importantly, gardeners are ideally placed to plant trees which soak up the increasing amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that is causing climate change. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/nov/26/trees-to-combat-climate-change
This blog receives hits from all over the world which proves how important climate change and its effects are to global gardeners. Our changing climate is the biggest factor affecting our gardens over the next 50-100 years and now is the time to plan for an uncertain horticultural future.

Agree with you that the climate change affects the greens in the garden and farm. Thus, it also affects food production. I happened to share a common interest with you. I do set up a rooftop vertical farm and manage a 1.5 hectare fruit orchard as a form of exercise. I am a family physician with a keen interest in preventive health care. I noted that almost all diseases are ultimately related to lifestyle. Thus, I am promoting Farming Exercise as a form of preventive health and production of chemical-free vegetables for own consumption. You may want to visit my blog, Facebook, Farming Exercise Page, 1 Eco Innovation Page to get to know what I am doing. http://tigeh1.blogspot.com, https://www.facebook.com/ti.l.geh, https://www.facebook.com/FarmingExercise
