The recent scorching summers - with their Mediterranean-like high temperatures and many weeks of drought - have been a wake-up call for UK gardeners. The long-predicted greater extremes of weather caused by climate change were well and truly upon us and our gardening practices need to catch up. This practical gardening book shows you how to adapt and cope with the volatile weather extremes that lie ahead, with an in-depth look at how to adapt in the vegetable garden, what types of fruit to grow, how trees and wildlife can help in the battle against climate change and what changes may be necessary for the flower garden.
