Calne Past and Present

The most active website chronicling Calne's history and present events is Calne Past and Present.

Calne Past and Present is the go-to website for chronicling Calne’s history and current events. Since its establishment in August 2017, this site has given rise to two books: ‘Calne Place Names,’ which delves into the origins and social history of street and area names, and ‘Calne Walks,’ a beautifully illustrated guide to 8 walks exploring Calne’s history and natural surroundings.

Sustainable Gardening - 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬 🌱✨

1. Choose native, non-invasive plants
Native plants tend to require less control, less watering, and don’t take over their environment. In turn lowering the maintenance required to care for your garden - and reducing or removing the need for pesticide usage.

2. Think perennial
Where possible, choose perennial over annual. Annual plants require the digging of soil each year, which damages the soil structure and releases CO2 and other greenhouse gases.

3. Pollinator-friendly
Open, single flowers offer the most accessible nectar and pollen for many pollinators. Night-scented flowers and white flowers, will attract night-flying moths.

4. Plant a tree
Planting the right tree in the right place can provide a long-term, low maintenance habitat for many species, food for others, and welcome shade for all. Trees help reduce summer temperature with leaves acting as a parasol and Evapotranspiration.

Sustainable Gardening - Water Conservation

Conserving water in your garden has multiple advantages. It helps combat climate change, saves energy, and promotes healthy soil. Efficient watering techniques, drought-tolerant plant choices, and financial savings are key. Remember, every drop counts! 

Here are five ways to implement change in your garden:

I. Plant Selection
Choose drought-tolerant rather than water-intensive plants where possible

2. Capture Rainwater
Rainwater is a free and natural source of water that you can use for your garden. You can install a rain barrel or a water butt to collect rainwater from your roof or other surfaces.

3. Improve Soil Structure
Compacted layers in the soil should be eliminated, with good soil structure maintained. This will allow plant roots to explore the maximum amount of soil and extract the most water for their requirements.

4. Mulch your Soil
Cover the soil surface with organic materials such as straw, bark, compost, or grass clippings, to minimise evaporation.

5. Water Wisely
The best time to water your plants is early in the morning or late in the evening, when the temperature is cooler, and the evaporation rate is lower.
