Gardening in a Changing World

Faced with the challenges of climate change and increasing biodiversity loss, we are at a crucial crossroads in our engagement with the rest of the natural world. Landscape designer and writer Darryl Moore believes, at the heart of this, lies our relationship to plants, and the need to rethink our attitudes towards them beyond purely aesthetic concerns. His new book 'Gardening in a Changing World' pushes beyond the notion that gardening is always good for the planet, to highlight alternative approaches to how we can design, inhabit and enjoy our gardens and public green spaces, for the benefit of not only our species, but also all the others we share these spaces with.

In this talk with The New Perennialist, Moore will take us through recent developments in horticulture, ecology and plant science, alongside traditional ecological knowledge and advances in the environmental humanities. His book presents an overarching perspective of the complexity of plant life, and the ways that we can begin to appreciate and work together with plants, rather than against them, in addressing the rapidly changing conditions affecting the planet.
