Climate Change Gardening with Clive Boase
Overview
Expert speaker Clive Boase from Climate Change Gardening talks about how the changing climate is affecting your garden.
Private gardens are the third largest UK land use sector, and in urban areas they form 25% of the landscape. Together, gardens have the potential to help mitigate climate change impacts, and also to enrich our increasingly threatened wildlife. With over 20 million people identifying as gardeners, our choices of plants, cultivation techniques, composts, watering, wild areas, and many other details, can make an important difference, locally and nationally.
There are many inexpensive and simple ways in which you can help your own garden to mitigate climate change, and also enable it to become more resilient, productive and enjoyable. However, you don’t have to do everything all at once – even small changes can bring big benefits locally, across the wider landscape, and beyond….
Our Speaker
Clive Boase is a trustee of the charity ‘Climate Change Gardening’. The charity was established in 2024, to encourage gardeners to adapt their gardening practices to help mitigate the climate and biodiversity crises. The demand for their outreach work has grown very rapidly, partly driven by the extreme weather in recent years. In 2025 they were involved in around 40 different events, and engaged face-to-face with over 1800 gardeners. This gives them a valuable and unique opportunity to understand issues, and inspire changes in gardening practice. Together, England’s 20 million gardeners can make a lasting difference.
Join us at Woodbridge Methodist Church for an inspiring evening of knowledge-sharing and networking.
