Sustainability

On-Site Growing for Reduced Impact

We grow all our plants on-site, minimizing the need for imports. This not only reduces our carbon footprint but also ensures we have full control over plant quality, from seed to sale.

Eco-Friendly Facilities

Our facilities are designed with sustainability in mind. We’ve installed a new tunnel that optimizes soil water management and natural pest control, as well as a glass propagation house that enhances our production of new plants from cuttings and seeds. These setups are crucial in our mission to promote sustainable agriculture.

Peat-Free Growing Media

We use a custom-blended, peat-free growing media with a slow-release fertilizer, significantly reducing our reliance on synthetic feeds throughout the growing season. This approach helps minimize our environmental impact while maintaining the health of our plants.

Non-Chemical Pest Management

We prioritize non-chemical pest management, using manual and biological controls to manage pests without harming the surrounding ecosystem. Our practices align with growing awareness of the dangers of pesticides and neonics, ensuring our plants are safe for pollinators and beneficial insects.

Reducing Plastic Waste

Our sowing and propagation processes are designed to minimize plastic use. We encourage the reuse of plastic pots and containers, and actively invite our customers to return used ones, helping to close the loop on plastic waste in gardening.

Innovation in Sustainable Practices

We continually innovate our methods to reduce environmental impact. This includes exploring renewable energy sources and trialing new eco-friendly materials that can further reduce our nursery’s environmental footprint.

Educational Outreach

We’re committed to spreading knowledge about sustainable practices. Through workshops, blog posts, and on-site tours, we educate our community on the importance of organic gardening and environmental stewardship.

Biodiversity and Ecosystem Support

By focusing on native plants and those suited to local climates, we contribute to the preservation and enhancement of local biodiversity. This not only benefits gardens but also supports healthier ecosystems.

Customer Involvement

We actively involve our customers in our sustainability efforts. Whether it’s returning used containers or adopting organic practices in their own gardens, our collaborative approach ensures a broader environmental impact.

Transparency and Traceability

Transparency is key in our operations. We offer complete visibility into our growing practices, ensuring customers can trust that their plants are cultivated sustainably from start to finish.
