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

We're proud and happy to be doing what we can - along with our partners, funders, landowner and managers - to improve habitat for these beautiful birds. Their haunting call is one of the great joys of working in the uplands. #WorldCurlewDay #GreatNorthBog 📷: Jon Hawkins

The spuds are coming along lovely! All grown peat free. Home Guard is a good all round potato popular in the 1940s. We look forward to using these in the Kingfisher Kitchen! #PeatFree #Conservation #PeatFreeGardening #PeatFreePeople

For the last day of #peatfreeapril we wanted to share our experiment: We compared the growth of chilli seeds in our peat free potting blend compost and seed compost, to another peat free brand and a peat-based compost. 🌶️ As you can see, #peatfree is just as good as peat! 🌱

Thank you to Tesco for selling #plants raised in peat-free compost. #PeatFree retailers protect peat bogs: rare #wetlands that are dug up to make #compost. When a peat #bog is dug up we lose the #peat bog & the #rare plants & #wildlife that only survive in these rare habitats.

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

We're so happy that Morrisons are selling plants raised in #PeatFree compost! If you're buying plants, check they were raised peat-free Peat-free retailers protect peatlands. When a peatland is dug up for compost the rare plants and wildlife are lost. Protect nature go peat-free

The Private Member's Bill to ban the sale of peat gets a second reading on Friday. Our colleagues at Somerset Wildlife Trust have some ideas about how you can make noise to support the bill: somersetwildlife.org/bogsnotbags #BogsNotBags #PeatFree #PreciousPeatlands
