Presenter: Ivonne Vazquez Bas Rouge Farm & Forge
Talk Description: In 2021, a milkweed plant, a sunchoke and an evening primrose supported each other through one of the driest summers on record in Maine. While gardens and crops withered with higher than usual temperatures and little rain, three plants stood out in the garden. How did these plants not only survive with no water for the entire summer, but also thrived? During this session we will learn, discuss and take away some of the interesting ways in which native plants form symbiotic communities and help each other and the surrounding ecosystem as we enter an unknown era of climate change and adaptation.
