PMGA Members “Out & About” Ryan Resilience Lab

PMGA FIELD TRIP TO RYAN RESILIENCE LAB

Portsmouth Master Gardeners on a tour of the Elizabeth River Project’s Ryan Resilience Lab in July. Pictured with the group are VCE Agent Cyndi Wyskiewicz and our tour guide, Pam Northam.

We’re on the second-floor deck of the Lab facing Knitting Mill Creek in Norfolk. The Lab is the entire building and surrounding grounds. It’s a global model for coastal residents and businesses on how to respond to sea level rise. It’s a Living Lab with dozens of practical, eco-friendly ideas and solutions for our area on how to cope with climate change and its consequences.
