The Royal Horticultural Society have published a list of UK peat free nurseries. We’re on it!
See the full RHS peat free nurseries list.
The list shows a full range of plant species grown more ethically across the UK in peat free growing media.
We have been listed on Nic Wilson’s peat free nurseries list for several years. “Thousands of people have accessed the list which now includes 120 nurseries across the UK, from Edinburgh to Cornwall, from West Wales to Norfolk.”
RHS peat use
“Currently exhibitors and designers do not use peat in the mulching and dressing of beds. We are now extending this and working with exhibitors to transition towards no peat use at shows by 2025.”
“Not only does the RHS want to stop the use of peat in our gardens and shows, we want our visitors to stop using it. That is why we have been selling peat-free compost for many years and from the beginning of 2020 we stopped selling peat-based compost completely when we removed the last line of peat-reduced compost.”
You can see full details in the RHS peat policy.
Earthed Up! have never sold products containing peat and have a policy of not using it anywhere in our operations. We look forward to advancing the conversation to what plants are grown in – our potting mix uses biochar and vermicompost to retain moisture and nutrients and to promote a biologically rich environment.
