What This Years Dry Summer Has Meant For Our Gardens?

How Tunbridge Wells & Tonbridge Gardens Are Adapting to 2025’s Dry Weather: Tips from Greenacre Landscapes.

As many garden enthusiasts in Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge have noticed, this year’s weather has thrown us a bit of a curveball. With drier conditions becoming the norm, gardens need a few new strategies to stay vibrant and resilient. Here at Greenacre Landscapes, we’ve been helping local gardeners adapt beautifully.

Adapting to the Dry Weather:

This year’s drier spells mean traditional English gardens might need a little rethinking. We recommend considering drought-resistant plants that thrive with less water—think lavender, sedum, or ornamental grasses. Not only do these plants handle dry spells gracefully, but they also add texture and colour to your garden.

Smart Watering Techniques:

Watering smarter, not harder, is key. We often recommend drip irrigation systems or soaker hoses that deliver water right to the roots without wastage. Mulching around plants can also help retain soil moisture, keeping everything hydrated longer.

Design Tips:

A few design adjustments can make a big difference. Consider using gravel or stone features that look great and reduce the need for thirsty lawns. By making these small changes, you can create a garden that’s both beautiful and resilient to dry weather.

Conclusion:

With these tips in hand, you’ll be well on your way to keeping your garden flourishing despite the dry conditions. And of course, if you need more personalized advice or help, Greenacre Landscapes is always here to lend a hand.
