To do this we need to be sensible with our choice of plants. Anything green and growing in your garden will be actively removing carbon from the atmosphere so I would suggest incorporating as many plants as possible. It has never been more important to choose plants according to their environmental needs. This plant will thrive even in the most exposed garden and is thus one to choose if that’s where you are gardening. As our climate seems to be altering to the extent that we expect more extremes, it seems that what we should be choosing is plants which are versatile and will tolerate changing conditions.
