About this garden
The story
By 2050, the UK's climate is predicted to feature hotter, drier summers and milder, wetter winters with heatwaves and flooding becoming more commonplace. This cube showcases the RHS' Plants for Purpose project, a pioneering programme that is labelling UK cultivated plants with their environmental benefits - right plant, right place, right purpose. For this exhibit the focus is on planting for wet and dry conditions to support flood mitigation.
