Climate change affects us all with the extremes it brings. This talk discusses ways of adapting our gardening techniques to create more resilient gardens that we can still enjoy. I look at potential winners and losers in the range of plants we grow. Plenty of scope for questions afterwards

About Nigel Start

My love of gardening started in the late seventies when our first small house came with a large plot. I found the best way to manage it was by growing fruit and vegetables, with the help of a small flock of chickens to clear the weeds and fertilise the ground. We very quickly became self-sufficient for a good bit of our food, and have been so for over 40 years. I started speaking about my experiences to clubs and societies in the Cambridge area over 15 years ago with a talk called 'self-sufficiency from your garden' which is still very popular. Other talks, all from personal experience, include pruning techniques, keeping chickens, gardening history, growing for shows, and more recently a talk on the effects climate and how to modify our gardens to cope.
