Very interesting read, thank you. Is it naive to think small efforts such as what can be achieved in a small or even tiny suburban garden, like mine, can really have a positive impact on the wider problem? I admit to switching off to the David Attenborough's of this world, as I find it all so overwhelming doom and gloom. I suspect I'm not the only one either! I feel more people would open up to the challenges if they felt they could make a difference.

When I moved to Norfolk thirty years ago, it was counteracting the lack of water ( the time of Beth Chatto's gravel garden) that was the chief concern, and now the battle is with flooding. Much of my garden is sodden from October to late spring and I have had to rethink completely what I grow.
