Climate change, whether you want to hear it or not, is here. Each year we are seeing more extreme weathers, such as longer periods of drought followed by big downpours that the ground can’t cope with. Earlier springs leading to confused wildlife, sudden heatwaves that none of us can stand because our homes aren’t cut out for it and garden plants left struggling to cope. It may sound all doom and gloom but we do have one thing going for us – we are very adaptable, and now is the time to be changing, improving and working WITH our changing climate in order to still be able to enjoy our outdoors space whilst giving plants, flowers and wildlife a fighting chance. Here is how I have learnt to adapt my small garden over these last few changeable years.

The great thing about me is that I thrive from a challenge and this may well be the kick up the butt I need to get back into shape. What will also help me is documenting my progress so I thought I would not only share updates on our Just Giving Page but also here on my blog.
