As record-breaking heatwaves hit Grey-Bruce this summer, both people and plants are showing signs of stress.
In this thoughtful contribution, local gardener Jennifer Deeks shares her firsthand observations from the garden, along with practical tips for helping plants survive extreme summer weather.
From signs of heat stress to drought-tolerant plant suggestions, it’s a timely read for anyone caring for green spaces during a changing climate.
Newsflash: Summer is HOT, Even for Plants
