The RHS is the leading gardening charity in the UK and is considered by many gardeners to be the fountain of knowledge on all horticultural matters. The organisation is helping gardeners to understand and adapt to the effects of climate change on their gardens.
They have an excellent web-site which explains the current situation in UK gardens and the future effects on our plants and wildlife as the changes in climate intensify. There is also an overview of the climate change debate, and what it will mean to garden in the global greenhouse.

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.
