A two-day botanising trip to Sardinia with Proff. James Hitchmough and planting designer Marco Scano.
Sardinia has a flora of approximately 2400 species and a high percentage of endemic species not found anywhere else. With its high mountains it provides a cross section of climates from the frost free Mediterranean at low altitudes to montane climates which are more akin to more northern parts of Europe. As a result it provides a fascinating series timelines when thinking about climate change in Britain over the next 50 years. The Mediterranean is always stereotyped as sparse plants in poor dry soils, but clearly there are a range of habitats from the Mediterranean wet through to the dry, and in this workshop we will try to interpret the needs of the plants in these different habitats in relation to designed landscapes, to help designers strategise how to create more climate friendly plantings.
