Glossary of terms

Holland has been pre-eminent in water management for centuries and remains so to this day. Many other European gardens were influenced by Dutch designs that have water as a key element, but they have lost the skills to maintain and manage them. Others struggle in this period of climate change to cope with the wide fluctuations of water supply that we are all facing. In this webinar we present the origins of some of the water management techniques, their restoration and adaptation to current needs. We address the skills needed by gardeners for the everyday management of the water features in their care.
