This week's gardening tip comes from Michaela Goldberg, Slug Count Volunteer based at RHS Garden Wisley. Slugs are nature’s recyclers, clearing dead matter from the garden and helping to break down matter on compost heaps. They are also important food for more beloved garden guests including birds and hedgehogs! 🦔 Check back for more top tips from our expert teams. #WorkingAtTheRHS #RHS #HorticulturalCareers #RHSVolunteers #RHSCareers

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. Sharing your experiences in your own garden will contribute towards setting the direction of the PhD and assessing UK gardeners’ attitudes and resilience to climate change.
