At Kernock Park Plants we are committed to protecting the environment through responsible and sustainable growing practices. That's why we have invested significantly in developing and adopting 100% peat-free growing media across our entire product range of plugs and liners.

Peatlands are among the world's most important natural ecosystems, acting as vital carbon stores and providing valuable habitats for wildlife. The extraction of peat can damage these fragile environments and release stored carbon into the atmosphere. By eliminating peat from our growing media, we are playing our part in helping to conserve these precious landscapes for future generations.

Our transition to peat-free production has been carefully planned and supported by extensive trials carried out over a number of years. Working closely with industry experts and suppliers, we have rigorously tested a range of sustainable ingredients and growing media formulations to ensure they deliver the high standards of plant quality, consistency, and performance that our customers expect.

The peat-free growing media we use today is the result of this ongoing research and development programme. Its carefully balanced composition provides excellent moisture management, aeration, nutrient availability, and root development, enabling plants to thrive throughout the growing cycle while significantly reducing environmental impact.

By choosing our plants, you are helping to:

• Protect valuable peatland habitats and biodiversity
• Reduce carbon emissions associated with peat extraction
• Support more sustainable horticultural practices
• Encourage innovation in environmentally responsible growing methods

We believe that exceptional plant quality and environmental stewardship go hand in hand. Our commitment to peat-free growing is part of our broader sustainability journey, and we will continue to explore new ways to reduce our environmental impact while delivering the highest-quality plants to our customers.

Thank you for supporting peat-free horticulture and helping us build a more sustainable future.
