Plant Sure Scheme & Gardening Responsibly Initiative
Both designed to make it easier for everyone to garden responsibly, using positive engagement to encourage pro-environmental behaviour to reduce the risk of future landscape scale weed invasions. The ‘Certified Gardening Responsibly’ eco-label provides an easy way to identify, provide access to and increase demand for, low invasive risk ornamental garden plants.

Planting to mitigate climate extremes
Tig will be talking about designing landscape lay-out, plant selection and creating conditions which will mitigate the effect of climate change. With more extreme weather events predicted in the future we need to learn how to create the conditions and specify plants that will deliver effective remedy.
