Have you noticed any patterns or surprises in your own garden? We want to hear from people around the UK on how climate change is affecting your gardens. This simple questionnaire is part of a PhD research project run by the RHS and the Universities of Sheffield and Reading. The project aims to better understand the implications of climate change on gardening, our gardening habits, and what sort of plants may be most appropriate for a changing UK climate.
