On Monday, September 16, Linda Gilkeson will be the guest speaker at the CV Hort. Society meeting. Linda will share how to design resilient food and ornamental gardens to help our plants survive the extreme weather conditions. Linda will also show us how we can make a difference in our own gardens to mitigate climate change including designing landscapes to capture carbon.
