Speakers
Dr Tijana Blanusa
RHS Principal Horticultural Scientist
Biography
I lead and deliver RHS research on the environmental benefits of gardens and urban green infrastructure. I am particularly interested in the contribution of plants to urban cooling, rainfall mitigation and air quality improvement. We are working to understand what underlying plant traits are most successful at this so that these plants can be harnessed to deliver multiple benefits.
