RHS asks for gardeners’ successes and failures to plan for changing climate

Charity wants to know how climate crisis is affecting plants and what UK gardeners are doing to mitigate effects

Most gardeners love nothing more than the chance to chat about what has worked and what hasn't in their flowerbeds this year.

So the latest callout from the Royal Horticultural Society will be music to their ears; the RHS is asking for information about what flowered for ages, what loved being waterlogged and how plants did on the occasional hot day, so that they can draw up a plan for how to keep gardening alive during the climate crisis.
