Summary

Our weather is changing, with extremes in heat, cold, wind and rain all becoming more common. The summer of 2022 saw extreme drought and blistering temperatures in many areas of the UK, which was followed by a very wet autumn and a winter with freezing temperatures like we’ve not seen in decades. The weather is becoming unpredictable and, if you’re a gardener, extremely challenging to cope with. We chat to the nation’s head gardener, Monty Don, about how weather extremes are changing the way we garden. Just how is the weather impacting Monty’s own garden, Longmeadow, and what is he going to need to do differently in years to come? Learn more about your ad choices.
