Presentation by Janet Melrose and Sheryl Normandeau, authors of The Guides for the Prairie Gardener series

How does our changing climate affect the way we garden? What does this mean for the future? In this presentation, Janet and Sheryl will explore several ways to make your garden more weather-resilient, including soil building and protection, water conservation techniques, season extension, appropriate plant selections, and managing environmental concerns such as extreme weather incidents, insects, and pathogens. 

Janet Melrose and Sheryl Normandeau are the authors of The Guides for the Prairie Gardener series, published by TouchWood Books. Janet owns and operates her business Calgary’s Cottage Gardener, and is a garden consultant, horticultural therapist, and speaker. Sheryl has written over twenty books, including the gardening books that she has co-authored with Janet. Her magazine articles have been published worldwide, and she is a content creator and administrator for several gardening sites on social media.
