The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has urged gardeners to become more environmentally sustainable and help to combat climate change from their garden.It has issued advice to members, calling for homeowners to avoid using a hosepipe unless necessary for reducing water waste and avoid using peat as this releases greenhouse gases.Planting 'drought resistant' species will help gardeners conserve water.Speaking to the Telegraph, Roger Williams, head of science at the RHS, said: "Whether or not you accept climate change is man made there is lots of evidence that we have a more unstable climate and it is getting warmer. What will that mean for gardeners and how can we adapt to that?"Homeowners with greenhouses were advised to use climate controls and install double glazed cladding.City dwellers are also being encouraged to turn their patio into grassy garden space or plant trees to help absorb carbon dioxide emissions, while planting certain flowers can attract bees and insects to boost biodiversity.Posted by Mark Stephens Sign up for regular email updates to help you save money and energy
