2012 Gardening Summer of Discontent

                                                                    

TIME TO REFLECT ON A SUMMER OF CHALLENGING WEATHER?

Remember how your garden suffered and survived the roller coaster conditions in this excellent article:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/gardening/9509817/Gardening-weather-how-this-years-extreme-conditions-affected-Britains-gardens.html

Many gardeners are saying that 2012 weather ranks among  the most challenging ever. Suggestions are that as climate change takes hold the UK will continue to experience confused seasons and extreme weather conditions that will  force the traditional English garden to adapt and prepare for an uncertain climatic 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.
