When the Climate Stripes Reach My Garden

What happens when the climate stripes reach your own backyard? In this personal reflection, CRBA member, artist, gardener, and environmental advocate Tracey Chaykin explores the simple visual power of the warming stripes. From heat-stressed tomatoes during the punishing summer of 2024 to a very different growing season in 2025, Tracey finds encoded in her garden the traces of a larger climate story unfolding right now, both global and local, concrete and abstract.
