Climate Change Affect on Gardens
Kennett Square, PA. - "There is telling evidence that climate change is affecting plant life around the world and here at Longwood," said Paul Redman, the director of Longwood Gardens. "For example, through Longwood Gardens sponsored research we have observed that plants are flowering earlier on average one day per decade over the last 150 years." The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has announced a partnership with Longwood in the form of an exhibit featuring climate data. Other public gardens are also observing earlier bloom times, and changes in temperature and precipitation patterns.
