Welcome to Refugia Gardening!
Refugia are small pockets of resilience where communities of interacting species can survive and adapt to new fitness conditions resulting from climate change and other ecological disturbances.
Refugia Gardening is a strategy for protecting key ecological functions by helping local biodiversity adapt to new climate conditions in human-dominated landscapes. Refugia Gardening can also nurture relational caring and hopefulness about the future.

The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.
~ Wendell Berry
