Evergreen Garden Care Makes Steps To Progress Peat-Free Journey

Evergreen Garden Care (EGC) is extending its position as the most comprehensive and high-quality peat-free range on the market by launching the Levington John Innes Peat-Free Range, completing its entirely peat-free portfolio across both Miracle-Gro and Levington.

EGC is continuing its peat-free journey as part of its sustainability efforts through a £7 million injection into peat free production. This is a step to reach its target of making major brands Miracle-Gro and Levington 100% peat-free within the next few years.

This target is set to be achieved ahead of government regulation, and EGC continues to set the industry standard, both through product action and financial investment, but also through leading in education and discussion.

EGC will also now include its own patented wood fibres in the composition of these new Levington John Innés products, which perform as well, if not better, than peat-based compost. This patented technology uses fibres that are infused with organic nitrogen, preventing plant starvation and in turn, promoting stronger and healthier plant growth. 

Mark Portman, Managing Director of Evergreen Garden Care says: “We are dedicated to providing peat-free compost and adding-to our high-quality range of sustainable products. It’s important to us to offer eco-friendly solutions to all customers, no matter the budget, which is part of our pledge to being peat-free by 2025. Securing the John Innes seal of approval is a great milestone for us, as it acknowledges our dedication to being leaders in this important journey and the conversation on the future of peat-free.” 

The launch of the new Levington John Innes Peat Free Range will include:

Levington - Peat Free John Innes No. 3 – From £5.99

Levington - Peat Free John Innes No. 2 – From £5.99

Levington - Peat Free John Innes No. 1 – From £5.99
