Climate Change and the Garden – September 14th

Lorraine Johnson is the author of more than 10 books on subjects including native plant gardening and urban agriculture, including the bestselling Canadian Gardener’s Guide. Her most recent book is A Garden for the Rusty-Patched Bumblebee, co-authored with Sheila Colla, which profiles more than 300 native Ontario plants and explores the specialist relationships between native plants and pollinators. (The U.S. edition includes a Foreword by Douglas Tallamy.) Lorraine’s work focuses on habitat gardening in the context of climate change and biodiversity loss; on reforming grass and weeds bylaws so that they support healthy, biodiverse landscapes; and on land stewardship as relationship-building in the context of reconciliation.
