Great blog showing a range of things you can do to reduce #Flooding risk.

At home we currently have a water butt, trees & shrubs, rain garden area and swales (kind of!!). A living roof on our garage is a dream for now! One day! 🤞🏼

Simple changes in your garden can slow the flow and manage the risk of surface water #flooding.

Try:
💧 Permeable paving
💧 Water butts to collect rainwater
💧 Rain gardens and planting to soak up runoff

4/4 "There’s growing momentum behind efforts to slow the flow of water across the landscape.”

"The aim is to stop rainfall from simply running off into rivers and out to sea, and instead hold more of it in the land."🌊
