About Claire Mitchell

A trained RHS horticulturalist with a passion for sustainability, I bring gardening into the 21st century in an environmentally-friendly, ethical way. I specialise in bringing the latest on climate-change to life in a non-scary, accessible method. I cover what it means for how we garden and how we can all improve our gardens and green spaces, without costing the earth.

I can help you make links between the actions we take (or don't take), the biodiversity and health of our gardens, and the future of our planet. I cover the science of climate change; what does climate change mean for my garden; how to select sustainable plants; and how to garden in a sustainable way.

Engaging, inspiring and motivating, this is the antidote to panic buying plants at a garden centre when spring arrives, or feeling worried without knowing what to do when hosepipe bans hit.
