Save 5 litres every week by using leftover water from the kettle to water house plants.

Save 80 litres at a time by watering your plants with a watering can instead of a hose.

Keep your plants cool by moving your potted plants into the shade to make sure less water is lost through evaporation.

Choose the type of pot carefully – ceramic, metal or wood pots lose less water.

Choose plants for your garden that aren’t so thirsty. Drought-tolerant plants like English lavender and ‘Blue Spire’ thrive in hot and dry conditions, so don’t need to be watered as frequently.
