Plants for Chalky Soils
A chalky or alkaline soil is one that has a chemical ph of 8 & above. Many of the gardens in this area have chalky soil & this can sometimes prove a challenge as to what to grow, but you need not worry as many plants will thrive in these soils. After all they are free draining which is good in these wetter winters that we are now experiencing.
