Water and watering
Watering is a critical issue for community groups working in public spaces – whether it’s for vegetables, trees, fruit bushes or flowers. With climate change meaning periods of drought are more likely, this is more important than ever. This module looks at practical ideas and examples on collecting and using water effectively. We’ll also be providing Dan’s recommendations for drought proof plants in the Plant Profiles Module (in development so please come back and have a look soon).
