Video Podcast with TV Gardener Diarmuid Gavin

Earlier blooming Spring bulbs is the most obvious sign cited by gardeners (60%), while nearly a quarter (24%) have also noticed an increase in the amount of garden waste being produced, such as grass trimmings and prunings. Encouragingly, 56% understand the important role that recycling garden waste plays in helping to combat climate change, but it’s a different story when it comes to putting this into practice. One in five (19%) choose to use peat-free composts and around a third (34%) of gardeners regularly home compost. As the number of people with access to a garden in the UK increases – currently 85% – there’s still more opportunities for gardeners to help. Campaign supporter, Diarmuid Gavin, is giving the green fingered a timely reminder about the ways in which we can help reduce the impact of climate change.
