Landscape design for climate change:

This practice has a particular interest in planning for the future through careful consideration and selection of species to tolerate predicted changes to our climate.

Current modelling for climate change predicts several possible scenarios for the next 60 years.

Whilst all scenarios agree to temperature increases, predictions for rainfall vary greatly from significantly more than at present to significantly less.

What we select and plant now will matter if we are to ensure ongoing success and longevity of those core plantings.

See Blog  for more details.
