Beningbrough Hall Unveils Climate-Resilient Mediterranean Garden

New garden features over 4,000 plants designed to withstand hotter summers and wetter winters in the UK.

The garden includes species from Mediterranean climates and similar regions like South Africa, Chile, and Australia.
A stormwater tank has been installed to mitigate flash flooding and reuse rainfall for irrigation.
The project aims to inspire visitors to adapt their own gardens to changing climate conditions.
Head gardener notes the irony of constructing a drought-resistant garden during one of the wettest seasons on record.
The garden's design integrates historical elements with modern climate resilience strategies.
