Peat Policy
Byrkley Garden Centre shares public concern in reducing peat use to minimise the effects of global peat extraction on peat bog habitats. Many viable peat alternatives exist which are either completely peat-free or of reduced peat content.
Our suppliers have improved labelling and information on their packaging, enabling our customers to make informed decisions about peat alternatives when purchasing growing medium.
Our commitment is to:
- Provide trialled and tested viable peat alternatives
- Sell growing medium products supplied by reputable and responsible companies
- Ensure information is available so that customers can make informed decisions when purchasing growing medium products
- Stock a range of high quality growing medium that is fit for every gardening purpose and meets government guidelines
This statement represents our general position on peat issues and the policies and practices we apply in conducting our business.
