Jérôme Jullien, drawing on his expertise and practical experience in gardening, will present during this conference the various effects of climate change and will propose concrete solutions for adapting and properly cultivating your pleasure garden, vegetable garden and fruit trees. He will end the conference with a signing session of his works.
The rhythm of the seasons is disrupted, with less cold winters which deprive the species that require it of vegetative rest, too early flowering, often exposed to devastating frosts, periods of heat and drought marked from spring, then throughout summer, autumns often with little rain, but locally subject to intense storms, without forgetting particularly rainy years like 2024, except the Mediterranean arc where only the autumn occasionally experienced torrential rains.
This climate disruption causes stress in plants, favors the development of new diseases, emerging pests and invasive plants of exotic origin which penalize the efforts of gardeners to beautify their living environment and produce fruits and vegetables.
Jérôme Jullien, agri-environmental engineer, is national expert in territorial biological monitoring, horticulture, gardens and green spaces for the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry. He works as a teacher in initial training (Faculty of Sciences of Angers, Institut Agro Rennes-Angers) or continuing training (professional and amateur gardeners).
He practices gardening in his 6,000 m² garden in Anjou. He is the editor of articles for various magazines (4 Saisons, Jardins de France, Le Lien Horticole, Phytoma, etc.) and is the author of more than twenty works on plants, permaculture and biological plant protection, including Adapt your garden to climate change, The great book of vegetable gardening without pesticides and 50 plants that resist everything! recently published.
