Case Study For A Flood Resilient Garden

 Week 10

RHS Flood Resilient Garden

This garden demonstrates how green spaces can be curated to be increasingly adaptable to the rising temperatures. 

In particular, the garden has been designed to slow down the movement of surface water on site and then this water is recycled and used to irrigate planting. 

Furthermore, the design includes Agapanthus eremurus, dwarf pines, low-growing scabious and euphorbias growing from crushed concrete that is chosen to cool the space and reduce air pollution. 

The concept revolves around a 'food forest' planting scheme. This encourages a deeper connection with nature and fosters a playful approach to plant.
