In aid of Earth Day, we thought we would highlight some of the sustainable initiatives we have implemented here at Provender Nurseries over the past few years.
- Our own production range of plants are grown in peat-free compost and kerb recyclable pots
- All cardboard and soft plastic onsite is compressed, baled and sent for recycling to Environmental First Ltd. We also recycle wood and metal
- We use various types of electric vehicles. We have 4 electric buggies, 4 electric fork lifts, 4 electric pump trucks and an electric van to reduce the amount of diesel used on site
- All of the trolleys loaded with plants for customer deliveries are protected with reusable jackets helping to reduce plastic consumption
- We collect rain water onsite and also use weather stations to reduce water consumption in rainy weather
- Our transport team organise deliveries in a specific way and plan each route accordingly to reduce the amount of diesel we use
We’re doing what we can where we can to help make a positive difference to our planet.
