Peter Dowdall: 'Our gardens play a critical role in offsetting the effects of climate change'
Jinan Park Garden in China by Taina Suonio.
It possibly goes back to our agricultural roots and 800 years of oppression but we are obsessed with land ownership in this country and not only, owning it, but marking our territory with concrete walls, fences and hedges.
Now with so many yearning for a more connected community and more of a connection to the natural world, it's fitting, and important, that the title of this year's Garden and Landscape Designers Association (GLDA) 2023 Seminar is "Letting Nature In — Listening to the rhythm of nature and capturing its essence in the designed landscape".
