If you have arrived at this blog then you are obviously interested in how our unpredictable weather is affecting the plants in our gardens.. Weather has always been the a challenge for gardening but in recent years the seasons have become blurred and no longer can we safely predict what type of weather to expect. Combined with extremes of temperature and drought, this means that the concept of  gardening in a changing climate is becming increasingly topical.

A new book supporting what I say on this blog is to be published on March 1st and it looks as though it will have some useful and intersting things to say about climate change gardening. Written by Ambra Edwards it offers inspiration and practical ideas for creating sustainable, waterwise and dry gardens, with projects, planting plans and more than 400 photographs. This title analyses  garden styles that are suitable for different gardening conditions, from the Desert Garden to the Gravel Garden and the Jungle Garden.

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.
