Gardening may be a manual activity, but apps and smart technology can help gardeners to understand and look after their gardens. They can access information digitally, use local data and even get invaluable support with gardening tasks.

Gardens struggle to cope with extended heat waves followed by heavy rainfall. With long periods of extreme heat becoming longer and longer, green spaces are more important than ever. Water is critical so they can survive and keep naturally regulating the temperature locally in the long term. It falls to gardeners to ensure that a sufficient supply of water is always available – especially during long dry spells.

Gardens, balconies, and terraces are popular spots for gardening, relaxation, growing own food or extension of the indoor living space. But as extreme weather becomes more common, it is increasingly important for gardens to be adaptable. Efficient water use and biodiversity are key when it comes to planning resilient gardens.
