We love Knoll Gardens' peat-free plants! Buying #plants this #spring? Please check they were raised in #PeatFree compost. Peat-free gardeners protect peatlands: rare wetlands that are home to rare plants & #wildlife that die when the peatland is dug up to make peat compost. #UK
Munira Wilson 🇺🇦 As my MP... you know what to do 🙂 Really important for peatlands internationally, to sequester carbon, not emit it. LI London Branch Landscape Institute
There will be a 2nd reading of the #2024PeatBan bill on 26-Apr-2024. Care about #nature, #biodiversity & #peatlands? Please contact your local #MP & ask them to support a ban on peat in #horticulture. Info from Garden Organic incl template letter here: gardenorganic.org.uk/news/peat-ban

Wilder Lymington. Lots of interest in our #Peatfree compost @peatfreeapril Green Hampshire @Transitiontog Children loved seeing our worm compost under microscopes: springtails, tiny white worms & some just colouring up. Hope some of these chldn were from schools who made bunting!
Yesterday, our team had the incredible opportunity to tour the operations at melcourtltd 💚 Amazing to see all the work that goes into making #peatfree compost!
We love seeing Flower Power Lymo Pennington Community Allotment's updates. This group of gardeners are self-sufficent in homemade compost and they also make their own leaf mould. #Gardening #Garden #Sustainable #PeatFree #UK #Free #SaveMoney #Nature #Compost #Homemade #PeatFreeGardening
Jon Knight Morrisons Good news but as someone who has been involved in numerous decades of peat campaigns ... it ain't happening fast enough😔 Horticulture industry has deep pockets to lobby in the corridors of power🤔😔😡 Govt reneged on ban of retail sales of #peat this season 😔😡 Go #PeatFree NOW
