Down in Cornwall, Harriet’s Plants is on a mission to sustainably and thoughtfully grow houseplants for windowsills across the UK… in the latest Hort Shorts episode we hear how they want peat-free businesses across the UK to be speaking up.

As the Peat-free Partnership continues to push for legislation to end the sale and supply of peat for horticulture in all four nations of the UK, we want to highlight organisations who have already made the switch.

In this series industry professionals show off their peat-free success and combat common myths that surround growing without peat. Don’t let us tell you that growing peat-free is perfectly possible – hear it straight from the industry.

Everything at Harriet’s Plants is grown from seed or by propagation, and all their growing media are 100% peat-free. Harriet reflects on just how long we’ve been fighting to protect our peatlands.

Hear Harriet’s thoughts on legislation and explore the nursery in the heat of July. As we move into the second half of the year, the time pressure grows ever greater to deliver on peat legislation. Time for action.
