Read the original article on bbc.co.uk (opens in a new tab)BBC News reports how gardeners at three Sussex gardens are changing what they plant after a summer of record heat and drought killed trees and rhododendrons. It quotes the gardeners on the damage and on their plans, and it ties the changes to the climate in their own words. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“an unprecedented summer marked by record-breaking heatwaves and severe drought”
The BBC states the scale of the summer's heat and drought plainly. It does not make the season sound routine or pleasant.
“he had seen a "big change" in climate over the some 40 years he has worked there”
The article ties the plant deaths to a long-term change in climate through a named expert with four decades of first-hand observation.
“planting a greater diversity of species will be key to climate resilience”
The BBC presents the gardeners' changes as adaptation to a changing climate. They are not a passing response to one odd summer.
