Urban ponds may be small, but they’re biodiversity powerhouses 🐸💧 Yet many are in poor ecological condition. Join Dr Rachel Walker on 15 Sept for a webinar on creating, surveying & managing urban ponds for wildlife 🌎 🧪 Book here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1981358046... @barnescommon.bsky.social
Thought the daffodils were done early but all of these still flowering beautifully! #flowers #bloomscrolling #springflowers

Wonderful Erythronium flowering. Shame so fleeting but a joy every spring. #spring #flowers #bloomscrolling #nature
We've been working with @metoffice.gov.uk to analyse 10 years of #NewYearPlantHunt data. The analysis provides the clearest evidence yet of how rising temperatures are impacting the British & Irish flora, with knock-on effects for all our wildlife. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Winter blooming of hundreds of plants in UK ‘visible signal’ of climate breakdown
New year plant hunt shows rising temperatures are shifting natural cycles of wildflowers such as daisies

@drsdodsworth.bsky.social is offering an exciting CASE PhD opportunity Deciphering plant-insect interactions in a diverse urban botanical garden and the implications for developing urban planting schemes in collaboration with the fantastic Chelsea Physic Garden
Deciphering plant-insect interactions in a diverse urban botanical garden and the implications for developing urban planting schemes | TREES DLA
Planting schemes in urban settings are important for increasing biodiversity and maintaining connectivity for ensuring proper ecosystem functioning. Despite this, relatively little is known regarding…

Great to work with partners inc @rbgkew.bsky.social & @naturalengland.bsky.social to produce the new #GBRedList for vascular plants. The bad news: 26% of wild plants are under threat, up from 23% in 2005. The good news: Conservation action works, as partners @plantlifeuk.bsky.social have shown!
Kew Gardens@rbgkew.bsky.social · 10mo agoWhile 1 in 4 UK plants remain threatened, the Red List offers a roadmap for recovery - proof that action works. We’re proud to have contributed alongside experts from @bsbibotany.bsky.social, @ukceh.bsky.social, @naturalengland.bsky.social & others 💚 Explore more 👉 ow.ly/egMJ50Xpxf2
Very excited to announce that our collaborative manifesto for 🌱 #PlantScience #Education has now been published! Educators from >10 countries and 30 institutions have contributed to it and we are incredibly proud of the final output. Here is a short thread 🧵1/4 doi.org/10.1002/ppp3...
A manifesto for plant science education
Plants provide oxygen, food, shelter, medicines and environmental services, without which human society could not exist. Tackling pressing and global challenges requires well-trained plant scientists....

Ask the Government stops allowing energy companies to charge the same price as gas for much cheaper to produce renewable electricity. Please sign and share! This will reduce bills overnight. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...
Petition: Ban cheap renewable energy from being charged at the price of expensive gas
Mandate energy providers to stop charging the same price as expensive gas for much cheaper renewable energy. We think they should pass any savings on to consumers, rather than keeping them as profit.

It’s that wonderful season again where the Nerine and friends come out. #bloomscrolling #flowers #amaryllids
1) This is why I think we are all doomed. I started this petition demanding electricity from renewables (over 50% of all electricity now in the UK) be detached from the much more expensive cost of wholesale gas. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

Annual and perennial #sunflowers. Bit of a struggle with the lack of water but still looking lovely. #flowers #bloomscrolling
Second harvest of courgettes this year, doing well. Loving all the different varieties too. #allotment #harvests #growyourown
Busy with work and almost missed it, didn’t think it would flower this year. An astonishing spicy scent too. Ismene ‘Sulphur Queen’ #flowers #hymenocallis #bulbs #bloomscrolling
The gloriously superb Gloriosa superba, aka the flame #lily amongst others! Soaring high #bloomscrolling #flowers
New one for me this year, Weldenia candida just flowering, very cute Commelinaceae #flowers #spring #bloomscrolling
