If climate change means more monsoon style rain then rainwater harvesting will need to become part of everyday life. This amazing video shot in India sums up the simplicity of rainwater harvesting.

We need to harvest rain for our gardens but in India the rain provides food needed to survive.

Debbie - who has written 872 posts on My Climate Change 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.
Have you noticed how the weather in your garden is becoming more challenging?
Are you changing the plants you choose for your garden and how you look after your plants?
I am inviting you to complete a very simple survey to explain how you garden in a changing climate and what internet services you use.
There are just 10 questions and it will take around 3 minutes.
All information will be used to develop international services on the web to help gardeners prepare for an uncertain horticultural future.
Thanks very much for your interest in gardening in a changing climate.
