Plants to the rescue again....Part of this scheme is to develop an innovative planter to free up capacity in the network during high rainfall. It is designed to be used in residential gardens, and captures excess water for future uses such as watering the garden.

Insights into how well (or not) green infrastructure is addressed by policy. Too much use of weak phrases "should incorporate", "encourage"; not enough strong phrases "must be designed", "must demonstrate". No wonder living green is "the first casualty of budget cuts".

Slides from last week's seminar 'Measuring the health of planning policies for green infrastructure' are now available on our website: https://t.co/n5FXwzt8zM thank you @ProfAlister

Value contribution of the horticultural industry 1.2% of total nation's output – "greater than the direct GVA contributions of the aerospace manufacturing industry in the same year". Time to be noticed!

"The implications for new housing are that adequate garden sizes may be an important means of reducing socio-economic health inequalities". What opportunities does this evidence create for horticultural producers? @AiphGlobal @hortweek @HTAnews @RHSPressOffice @talklandscape
