Safeguarding our environment’s future can have an impact on our gardens today

Heritage gardens play an important role in plant conservation. They house collections gathered over decades or even hundreds of years, including varieties of plants that may be overlooked elsewhere, fostering heirloom varieties and preserving biological diversity that is the raw material of adaptation. As well as being beautiful and tranquil sites of cultural heritage, as many of you will know that have already visited them, they are also treasure troves of biological diversity.
