Climate changes can really impact where different plants can grow, making it tough for gardeners.

• Warmer temperatures can move plant zones higher up north, which can leave many plants that usually grow in those areas having a hard time.
• Severe weather events, like heavy storms or extreme heat, can mess up how and when plants grow, causing them to produce less food.

To tackle these challenges, gardeners can:

1. Look up the newest hardiness maps.
2. Choose plants that can adapt to changing weather.
3. Use protective steps to keep their plants safe from unexpected weather.
