Greener Henley and Phyllis Court Garden Group are inviting you to attend one of the opening events being held locally for Henley’s Great Big Green Week – the UK’s biggest ever celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature.

Come along to join in the discussion on gardening and the environment.

The way we garden is being increasingly impacted by our changing climate. This is a chance to ask questions about how to respond to these changes such as drought and more extreme weather events.

Also important is that what we plant, how we design our gardens, the materials we use and how we grow can all have an impact on the environment especially on wildlife. Bring your questions on how to make a positive impact.

The panel will be made up of experts with a wide range of knowledge from green garden design to composting to what to plant and what to do to encourage wildlife into your garden, no matter how big or small.
