Peat is a finite resource and emits high levels of CO2 during extraction and processing. Peat extraction also has a detrimental impact on biodiversity. In collaboration with Kingfisher, we have embarked on a programme to offer a peat-free range of indoor and garden plants by 1 January 2026. Other customers also have targets for a peat-free range. Many growers are conducting trials with peat-free cultivation, and some have already introduced this in practice.
