Wickham Bishops Horticultural Club

A talk by Sue Boase.  

'Climate Change, Gardening and Us' covers the impact that climate change is having on gardens, how we can continue to have a productive and enjoyable garden despite climate change, and the measures that gardeners can adopt that will actually help counteract climate change.

Private gardens are the third largest UK land use sector, and in urban areas they form 25% of the landscape. Together, gardens have the potential to help mitigate climate change impacts, and also to enrich our increasingly threatened wildlife. With over 20 million people identifying as gardeners, our choices of plants, cultivation techniques, composts, watering, wild areas, and many other details, can make an important difference, locally and nationally.
