Nurseries

Welcome to the Climate Change Nursery Guide

It is important to seek out good quality plants for climate change gardening so that they have the best chance of coping with increasingly unpredictable weather conditions.

To help in this process, I have created the Climate Change Nursery Guide which offers useful information about the various specialist nurseries stocking mediterranean, tropical and exotic plants. In particular, those practising environmental gardening with a view to helping our planet stay green.

Each review will be based on a ratings system of 5 key criteria:

1. variety and quality of plants

2. ‘green’ credentials ie where plants are sourced from/ number propagated in the UK

3. value for money – these type of plants can be very expensive so this is important

4.staff knowledge/helpfulness

5. general atmosphere and whether it is worth visiting the nursery or ordering on-line

These reviews should  help you decide which ones to visit and or order plants from as most nurseries now offer a mail order service .At the moment the CGN Guide will be limited to the UK but there are plans to set up a similar guide in Australia and America in the near future.

I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and who is keen to "manage" the effects of shifting weather patterns on my garden. Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces. My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable. The future of our gardens and #OurPlanet is in our hands - please plant your own seeds for our collective sustainable future.
