The Spark Weekly | May 24th | A Changing Climate in Gardens and Newsrooms

From longer growing seasons to stronger storms and increasing pest pressure, climate change is reshaping the way plants grow and how gardeners and growers respond.We also spotlight photojournalist Ann Hermes and her powerful visual project documenting the slow disappearance of local newsrooms. Drawing on her years of experience covering major global events, Hermes turns her lens closer to home—capturing the quiet, often overlooked spaces where local journalism once thrived. Her photographs preserve the people, routines, and environments that are fading as community news outlets shut down.
