New insights show impact of rainfall changes on our plants

Changing rainwater patterns are affecting the vital ecosystem support of plants – but we can take steps to help.

Our webinar this week delved into the latest research, looking at practical steps to take, highlighting the crucial role of sustainable water management in keeping our green spaces healthy.

The Royal Horticultural Society’s environmental horticulture team is at the forefront of researching how plants, soils, and water interact to enhance environmental health and human wellbeing.

Dr Nicholas Cryer presented the latest research on sustainable water management techniques in domestic and public gardens.

His work focuses on balancing water supply and demand, promoting water neutrality, and demonstrating how sustainable water management can positively affect both people and nature.

These steps help mitigate the impacts of climate change and promote sustainable gardening.

Attendees gained valuable insights and practical tips on how we can all contribute to a greener, more sustainable London.
