Climate change in the Midwest has created or worsened many challenges in horticulture and landscape design including shifting hardiness zones, increasing insect and disease pressure, and more exposure to extreme heat and humidity. Many of the changes we've seen recently are projected to continue or intensify in the future. However, sustainable landscape design is one of the most effective means of adaptation. And with an increasing reliance on nature-based solutions, a healthy green industry is critical for climate resilience in the Midwest. We'll discuss climate change and the unique landscape management problems it’s created. We’ll also highlight solutions to help successfully develop and manage landscapes and nature-based solutions now and into our uncertain future.
