Kew Gardens is launching the Carbon Garden, a unique project showcasing the impact of climate change and the importance of carbon through plant life. This new permanent garden will feature diverse sections including a drought-resistant dry garden, a rain garden designed to filter pollution, and a central pavilion inspired by fungal structures. The project, backed by the Biffa Award, aims to educate visitors on scientific insights related to carbon management and its ecological significance, opening to the public in July.
The Carbon Garden offers a unique opportunity to showcase our ongoing research, combining scientific insight with thoughtful design and beautiful planting to highlight the role of carbon in our lives, how it moves through the environment and how plants and fungi can help us tackle climate change.
The garden will include a dry garden full of drought-tolerant Mediterranean plants 'illustrative of the plants we might look to for London gardens in 30 years' and a rain garden and bioswale... that filters out pollution.
