Since publishing our first timber policy in 1991, we’ve been working to become a more responsible retailer so our customers can enjoy better, more sustainable homes.

Over 25 years of
sustainability leadership

For over 25 years, we’ve been working to become a more responsible retailer and have been named Greenest Garden Centre and Sustainable Business of the Year. We've been among the first to stop selling non-native invasive plants, 100% peat products or pesticides containing neonicotinoids or metaldehyde. We've achieved 98% responsible sourcing of timber in our products, and removed expanded polystyrene packaging from our bedding plants. And we’ll keep looking for ways to do more.
