Long-term weather data can help climatologists understand climate variability and inform techniques gardeners can use to build resilience. Edwin Remsberg
The University of Maine Cooperative Extension is set to offer a webinar, “Gardening in a Changing Climate: What Maine Gardeners Need to Know,” from 6-7:15 p.m. Wednesday, March 12.
Sean Birkel, assistant Extension professor and Maine state climatologist, and Rebecca Long, coordinator of horticulture training programs for UMaine Extension, will discuss climate change in Maine, important impacts to one’s garden, and how to make the garden more resilient.
This webinar is the first in the five-part series, Gardening for the Future, and will lay the groundwork for the rest of the series, which will cover specific resilience topics in more detail. It is recommended to register for this session, either to watch live or view the recording, if planning to attend any upcoming webinars in the series.
Registration is required; sliding scale fee options are available. Register on the event webpage at umaine-extension.formtitan.com to attend live or receive the recording link.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
