Environmental Statement |
|
All of our plants are grown in a peat-free compost, so we are not adding to the destruction of peat habitats. The compost we use is a bark and loam mix produced in the U.K. We reuse and recycle as much as possible, and all our packaging materials are either reused, recycled or biodegradable. All of our pots can be returned to us, after planting, and will be reused. At our nursery we grow all of our plants on site from our own seeds and cuttings, so helping to reduce plant miles. The only insecticide we use is soap-based. We encourage wildlife to the nursery, which acts as a natural pest control and only use this spray as a last resort. There isn't any mains electricity on the nursery. We are powered solely by renewable energy, which consists of a combination of photovoltaic panels and a wind turbine. |
