Abstract

The article discusses the impact of climate change in agriculture and in the environment and how this phenomenon have changed the way gardeners manages their gardens. Several experiments were offered, such as the consideration of horticulture as a way to experiment with strategies to adapt to changes in the climate. According to Scott Aker, horticulturist at the U.S. National Arboretum, the plants that to be put up in the gardens 20 years from now are going to withstand extremes of temperature and drought. He added that pest and pathogens could also affect horticulture, aside from climate changes. It concluded that new approach in the climate-adapted garden is rambunctious, diverse and more like wild spaces.
