THE CLIMATE GARDEN
Methods of modern agriculture emit large amounts of greenhouse gases, but how we grow our food doesn’t have to contribute to climate change. The Climate Garden, an accessible and hands-on, youth-oriented garden, demonstrates agriculture techniques for a more sustainable future. These techniques, employed on a scale for the home gardener, have the power to draw carbon from the atmosphere, restore healthy soils, support biodiversity, and build a more sustainable food system. As the Climate Garden grows and matures, visitors will be able to explore crop plants celebrated for their drought tolerance, nitrogen fixing ability, importance as cover crops, contribution to pollinator habitat, and more.
Located off Pliny’s Allée, the Climate Garden is an accessible space for learning and resilience. Throughout the year, the Climate Garden hosts drop-in activities and educational programs for youth and families.
