Northwest gardeners and landscapers are accustomed to our Mediterranean climate with mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers. With climate change, we can expect more variability in our weather with more frequent and intense weather events. How will these extreme events affect your plants? Learn strategies to adapt your yard and garden to these new conditions. Also learn about Solve Pest Problems, a new initiative from OSU to provide pest management information for the public.
