Event Description
With weather conditions changing and warmer, drier summers on the cards, it pays to change your gardening habits and rely more on drought-resisting plants. Whether you’re looking to create a Mediterranean or drought garden - or just want to spend less time watering your garden and giving yourself more time to relax and enjoy it! There are numerous plants that have developed clever adaptations that help them reduce how much water they need and their overall dependence on water. So what are these adaptations, and which are the best plants to help you reduce your summer watering regime? Geoff Hodge explains all in this illustrated talk.
