Description
Description | A new garden in Oxfordshire designed to promote flood resilience by demonstrating nature-based solutions as a first line of defence for UK properties. It offers free public access to a blueprint for how outdoor spaces, such as an ordinary terraced house garden, can help reduce flood risks. The garden features a pond that doubles as a sump to collect water, a smart rainwater tank, and a variety of flood-resilient plants. It builds on the silver medal-winning Flood Resilience Garden that debuted at Chelsea Flower Show and is now permanent and reimagined for long-term impact. |
