Extreme Heat Gardening and Protection is an actionable survival guide for saving gardens, shrubs, trees, lawns, and food crops during brutal heat waves. Claire Rothberg teaches the four systems that keep landscapes alive when temperatures climb: root-zone hydration, soil cooling, temporary shade, and plant stress reduction.
This book turns plant science into clear, practical rescue steps. Learn how heat closes stomata, collapses turgor pressure, overheats roots, scorches fruit, weakens turf crowns, and drains stored carbohydrates from stressed plants. Then put that knowledge to work with deep-watering plans, shade-cloth setups, mulch systems, container rescue methods, tree triage, lawn protection, pest monitoring, and post-heat recovery.
For homeowners, gardeners, landscapers, and community growers, this guide delivers calm, confident instructions that protect living landscapes before, during, and after extreme heat.
