The 10 minute rule bill to introduce a #peatban in parliament will take place NEXT WEEK! Write to your MP now and call for their support. Here's a template letter in case you need a hand💚gardenorganic.org.uk/news/pe…
Why are house builders allowed to let surface water go down the drains and overwhelm our sewage systems? In the past water from the roof went into soakaways. No wonder water companies are struggling with the heavy rainfall.

I'm super excited to announce that my new book, The Climate Change Resilient Vegetable Garden is out now. After teaching and writing on this topic for many, many years, I realised there was a need for an upbeat guide that provided hope and empowerment for the gardener, as much as the on-the-ground solutions for building resilience with all the challenges we face. This book very much channels my writing in the Guardian back in 2014 and has been a year and a half of love in the making. It features lots of money and time saving ideas and inspiration, as well as the ways to build resilience in line with the natural world. For person, plate and planet.💚 💚 💚
Thank you to the fantastic team at Cool Springs Press/ Quarto Group for all your support.

Another great day at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show talking about the less work more resilient vegetable garden. Such a great show and the books have totally sold out 💚💚

Great to see new research starting up in flood management - but really think this is about 20 years too late. We've known this was going to be a problem for ages but like all climate change stuff, we've sat on our hands and hoped it wouldn't come to this
A whole host of exciting new PhDs linked to flooding are advertised here including one led by me, @DrCharlLloyd and @sanchez_baracal looking as cascade effects of flooding and drought interactions on aquatic ecosystems. Please share!

This is why we need legislation to stop peat extraction for horticulture. #peatfree
I don't usually name & shame but this appals me. This is Auchencloss Moss, Midlothian - once a carbon-absorbing #peat bog, now being stripped for use in potting compost for gardeners. William Sinclair trades as Westland. Licence to extract runs till 2042. #notinmyname #gopeatfree

We loved getting your calls today, which asked us everything from how to get hanging planters to flower, to how to deal with a zealous herb like mint.
Guest @sally_morgan has even more advice for building a climate-resilient garden on today's show.
