Tom Nielsen: ‘Drought-Resistant, Sustainable Gardening’
Members: free. Non-members: £3.
Our final Gardening Club talk of the season tackles a topic which loomed large at the Chelsea Flower Show this year: sustainable gardening in a changing climate.
Tom Nielsen runs Biocentric Plants, an independent nursery near Wiviliscombe. He grows plants which are beautiful, tough, useful, or just particularly interesting, aiming for biodiversity and resistance to climate change. His talk will give us ideas on how best to use what we’ve got already in the garden, and he will also give advice on which plants to grow for drought resistance – useful for those of us with south-facing, sloping gardens in particular. Take a look at Tom’s website here:

There will be plants for sale. Everyone is welcome.
