Green female motorists who have made an effort to reduce their carbon emissions when driving may be interested in taking steps to protect the planet when gardening.

Eighties pop star and celebrity gardener Kin Wilde claims people may be unaware how much of a difference an environmentally-friendly approach in the garden can make.

She said using pesticides and chemicals is not a healthy way to keep a plot of land and added gardeners also need to be vigilant against wasting water.

Ms Wilde stated there are "a huge number of things which people can do to encourage wildlife which will help keep the garden healthy too".

A Waste & Resources Action Programme survey undertaken in May 2007 found 28 per cent of gardeners believe global warming is affecting their gardens.

Some 56 per cent of those questioned stated that recycling garden waste is important when it comes to tackling climate change.
