The Future of Gardens

Mark Lane

Sinossi

How could our gardens grow? Designer and broadcaster Mark Lane considers the green spaces of the future, amazing advances in gardening technology, and the challenges of an increasingly extreme climate...
As our world continues to change, the gardeners of the future will face many obstacles and dilemmas: from adjusting our practices to less
predictable weather conditions and tighter areas, to finding a happy coexistence with AI as it becomes more prevalent in our digital and physical equipment.

But there is still joy to be found through plants. Whether it's a window box on a balcony, a neighbourhood vegetable patch, or a field of wild flowers, Lane presents a vision of gardens for everyone: providing crucial microclimates for wildlife, acting as community hubs, and potentially transforming our physical and mental
health. He even imagines gardening in space: what might horticulture look like as we begin to populate distant worlds?

The Future of Gardens looks at this evergreen discipline with a bold, vibrant and inquisitive eye. Lane's own vision for inclusivity, sustainability and forward -thinking design shines throughout this extraordinary addition to the FUTURES Series.

The Shocking Truth about Fast...

Zoey Fraisers

Fast fashion has transformed the way people buy and consume clothing. With its promise of trendy, affordable garments available almost instantly, it has captivated consumers worldwide. Clothing brands now release new collections at an unprecedented pace, fueling a culture of constant shopping and disposal. While this rapid turnover may seem harmless, the reality behind the industry is far from glamorous. Beneath the surface lies an unsettling truth—one of exploitation, environmental destruction, and unsustainable consumption.
The rise of fast fashion is closely tied to globalization and technological advancements that have enabled companies to produce clothing more quickly and at lower costs. Retail giants capitalize on consumer demand for cheap and stylish apparel, often at the expense of ethical labor practices and environmental responsibility. Factories in developing countries operate under poor conditions, with garment workers enduring long hours and meager wages. In some cases, child labor and forced labor are hidden within the supply chain, ensuring that prices remain low while profits soar.
Beyond the human toll, fast fashion is one of the most polluting industries in the world. The production of synthetic fabrics releases harmful microplastics into the environment, while textile dyeing contaminates water sources with toxic chemicals. The industry's reliance on nonrenewable resources, excessive water consumption, and high carbon emissions contribute significantly to climate change. Meanwhile, the culture of disposable fashion exacerbates the problem, with millions of tons of clothing ending up in landfills each year.
