A Mediterranean-inspired garden has been planted at a North Yorkshire stately home to suit the changing climate, the National Trust said. The garden at Beningbrough Hall, near York, opened recently and featured more than 4,000 herbaceous perennials, grasses, trees and shrubs from across the globe. Designer Andy Sturgeon said climate change had meant landscapers needed to start “changing the way we garden” to cope with warmer summers, prolonged dry periods and drought. The garden also included a stormwater tank to reduce the impact of flash flooding, with the stored rainfall used for watering.
