The garden is part of a resilience campaign by Flood Re – a joint initiative between the government and insurers to make flood insurance cover for households more affordable.<\/p>\n
Kelly Ostler-Coyle, of Flood Re, said: “We’re thrilled that the flood-resilient garden now has a permanent home, open and accessible to the wider public.<\/p>\n
“Outdoor spaces like this are vital in providing a natural first line of defence against flooding.<\/p>\n
“This garden demonstrates how thoughtful choices in plants and landscape design can offer both aesthetic value and tangible protection – helping to minimise physical damage and emotional strain when floods occur.”<\/p>\n
Andy Brown, joint chief executive at HR Wallingford – which owns the site – said the garden “looks magnificent”.<\/p>\n
“I am sure [it] will inspire everyone who visits, as well as providing a tranquil space for those that work here,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The garden is part of a resilience campaign by Flood Re – a joint initiative between the government…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":46943,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1397,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-46942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46942\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
