Be a climate friendly gardener

The RHS for example have done some interesting work into how How your garden can help beat climate change. 

It is possible to garden in more eco friendly ways and in the sections below we have given some ideas as to how we can reduce our garden-based emissions.

These ideas aren’t new of course so, helpfully, there is a stack of information out there already for you. They range from organic gardening, producing your own compost, avoiding peat based compost, planting trees, conserving valuable water resources and vertical gardening in small spaces. 

If you are thinking about a timber or decking project in your garden, try to make sure that the wood you are going to be using is (ideally) recycled and/or from sustainable forestry sources.

Using drinking grade quality water to water garden plants does seem bonkers given that a lot of energy is used to treat and distribute water to our homes  so do install water butts and other water saving measures if you can.  

Green spaces - things we can do

Water - things we can do
