Rooted in sustainability.
Our love of nature is a pretty compelling reason to look after the planet. Whether we’re installing, watering, or maintaining, we’re working to reduce emissions, save water, and support the ecosystems that keep nature healthy.
Our progress by date
2016
We launched our new range of sustainable planters. Our volumes mean we make a significant environmental impact by recommending these alternatives.
2019
Since clean water is a precious resource, we installed rainwater harvesting infrastructure in 2019 and use it to water the hundreds of thousands of plants that pass through our factory.
2020
We ship hundreds of plants daily, so we began creating eco-friendly hubs to consolidate and transport larger loads per trip, significantly reducing our annual road miles.
2021
We kitted our maintenance technicians out to keep up their amazing work whilst using public transport in cities.
2022
Keeping plants warm and well-lit takes a lot of energy, so we covered our nursery in solar panels. Our 82kW system reduces CO2 emissions by 17.4 tonnes annually.
2024
This year we began our journey to Net Zero by 2030. We’re appointing a third-party auditor to review our current consumption, and give us a roadmap to meet our target.

Our commitment to Sustainability
Since we started the business nearly fifty years ago, sustainability has been at the heart of what we do. It is crucial to building a company not just for today, but for the future.
The proof is in our process
We've partnered with a cutting-edge 3D printing company who manufacture planters from recycled drinks cartons. When you're bored of it? Send it back to be remade!
Peatlands are incredibly important ecosystems which have suffered from over-extraction. We only use peat-free compost to preserve these habitats.
Our 82kW solar panel installation reduces CO2 emissions by 17.4 tonnes annually.
