In emails received from many parts of the country, I\\u2019m hearing gardeners say the same thing: This year has been really hard. Count me in on those voicing that sentiment.

Gardeners know first-hand that climate change isn\\u2019t something in the future, but something right here, every day, right now. So I was fascinated to start reading about the Climate Change Demonstration Garden at the Cornell Botanic Gardens in Ithaca, New York, where since 2014 the team has been looking at the impacts of a shifting climate on gardens. What they\\u2019ve learned so far can help us prepare.\\xa0
