And, in this post, the Queen's Gardener addresses "Humanity's Future"
Speaking ahead of the lecture, Professor Blackmore said: “It’s oftentimes said that nature tin laissez passer on the axe direct keep tending of itself, but that’s no longer truthful if nosotros desire to alive inwards a public that tin laissez passer on the axe back upwards us.
“We can’t precisely inquire the authorities to create the global environment, they couldn’t produce it. The planet tin laissez passer on the axe hold out safeguarded alone past times each of us changing our conduct inwards positive ways that volition brand a departure to the lineament of life inwards the future.”
The changes Professor Blackmore is proposing are precisely equally applicable to large gardens equally to urban windowboxes, for they involve gardeners seeing themselves equally piece of job of a bigger film inwards which the pick of plants they grow has an number multiplied millions of times across the world.
In practical terms, this would hateful gardeners:

Professor Blackmore added: “The to a greater extent than you lot tin laissez passer on the axe grow inwards your private patch, garden or windowbox, the to a greater extent than you lot tin laissez passer on the axe assist planet Earth. For me the cardinal insight is that it was the cumulative actions of vii billion people that created the environmental challenges nosotros appear upwards today, together with it volition hold out the private actions of those same people that volition larn us out of the set we’re currently in.”
The urgency is clear, if we, collectively, desire to assist contrary the trends of environmental destruction.
