Creating a Garden for Climate Change Education

Sonja Skelly, Cornell Botanic Gardens Director of Education, presented "Creating a Garden for Climate Change Education" for the Monday Seminar hosted by Cornell's Department of Horticulture. In this 45-minute video, Sonja provides a virtual tour of Cornell Botanic Gardens' Climate Change Garden and explains how it engages visitors to observe how plants are affected by changes in temperature and other growing conditions. This interactive experience helps visitors gain a deeper understanding of how future changes in climate conditions projected for Central New York are likely to affect plants—both in cultivated and natural landscapes.
