If you live in an area susceptible to heavy rainfall and flooding, it's vital to get your yard in shape to ensure both your land and home are protected from damage. Understanding how to work with your local climate, by incorporating different features and making careful choices about planting, can help to make your yard flood-resilient.
This week I attended the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London, where I had the joy of exploring many inspirational backyard ideas. The Flood Resilient Garden designed by renowned garden designers Naomi Slade and Dr. Ed Barsley, in collaboration with Flood Re, illustrated how you can make landscaping and planting choices to protect your home and help your garden cope with extreme weather.
