Pollinator friendly garden design with pond, insect hotels, white gravel and drought tolerant planting.

This year, sustainability, resilience and biodiversity have been the buzzwords in gardening more than ever before, and the trend looks set to continue next year. Everyone wants to build a climate resilient garden that can adapt, survive and recover after extreme weather events, as well as being a pleasant place to spend time during the hottest months of the year.

From simple ideas like planting a tree to create shade, growing climate resilient crops, and making your own compost to feed your soil, to design-led options like reducing the amount of hardscaping and letting your garden relax with a naturalistic planting style, there are lots of easy things to consider to make a more climate resilient garden.
