Garden warning
formal gardens at Newstead Abbey
Time is running out - for the English country garden, and the great British lawn.

Conservation experts say climate change is to blame - too much warming carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, mainly from transport and industry, will affect millions of domestic gardens in the UK over the next 50 years.

But it's not all bad news - fewer frosts and drier summers are providing opportunities to grow plants previously unsuitable to the British climate.


  • Breakfast's Jane O'Brien gave us the details when she talked to Tim Argles and Chris Bailes from the Rosemore Gardens in Devon.
