Joint study predicts increased extreme UK weather events; prepare gardens with drought-resistant and flood-tolerant plants, and sustainable drainage systems.
A joint study by the Met Office, University of Exeter, and University of Leeds predicts increased extreme weather events, such as droughts and heatwaves, in the UK. Gardens should be prepared by planting drought-resistant plants like ceanothus, sedum, and euphorbia with fine hair foliage, and flood-tolerant plants like willow trees and ferns. Sustainable drainage systems and recycled water storage options are recommended for future-proofing gardens.
