With changes to our climate we, as gardeners, need to ensure that we can continue to have a garden that we can enjoy with year-round interest whilst also being mindful of the environment. The main feature of this garden is a pondless waterfall that is fed by rainwater collected from the house roof. By having a waterfall, the water is aerated and therefore allows the water in the main harvesting unit to remain fresh for use for irrigation in the summer months. We have also chosen a range of plants that are known for their hardiness and ability to withstand winter rains and summer drought conditions. Some of the plants featured also have additional benefits such as Persicaria bistorta ‘Superba’ which has deep roots that can help soil erosion in heavy rains, while Astrantia major ‘Claret’ is a good companion plant for hostas as they have been shown to repel slugs.
