GONE GREEN RANGE
In early 2021 , the Going Green range was launched as a new initiative at Provender Nurseries .
This may seem like old news , but the enquiries for greener products continue to pour in on a weekly basis . The need to source and use products that have a leaning to the green side is important for the environment that we as an industry strive to create .
The Going Green range was collated from our present stock range in direct response to customer requests for environmentally friendly products . Our sundries team researched into and grouped together all shop products that have the following attributes ; organic , wildlife friendly , child and pet friendly or have natural ingredients as their main components to create the Going Green range .
The Going Green range encompasses a wide range of goods and landscape supplies including lawn feeds , plant fertilisers , soils , mulches , insecticides , natural pest and disease control , fungicides , soil improvers , wild flower seeds , mycorrhizal fungi , living walls made from 100 % recycled plastic and even an option to control Box Tree Caterpillar with Box Tree Moth traps .
With the proliferation of interest in wild flower meadows recently , the Pro Flora wild flower mixes specific to soil conditions or environmental situations are proving particularly popular this year specially since the Chelsea Flower Show in May .
Mycorrhizal Fungi / Rootgrow is the most popular line in the Growing Green range as there is a product for almost every situation or plant type . We recommend this to every customer when purchasing shrubs , trees , hedging , topiary and all higher value stock . When applied to the roots at planting Mycorrhizal fungi increases the root surface area allowing the plant to establish quicker and to take up a larger amount of water and nutrients back to the roots themselves . Using mycorrhizal fungi products increase yield by up to 20 % and with the different options can be used when planting , after planting and also an ericaceous plant option . ( See Factsheet 8 ). THE product when planting shrubs , trees , hedging and all high value stock .
Box Tree Moth traps provide all season long biological control for the Boxwood Moth . The trap is baited with pheromones attracting the male moths and thus breaking the life cycle preventing the reproductive process taking place . Each trap is reusable and is effective for 180 square meters .
Included within the Going Green options are our range of peat free composts , soils and top soils many of which are available at reduced prices if purchased by the pallet .
With more of a leaning towards the green things in life and creating healthier habitats for us all and wildlife to live in , our Going Green range is a moveable feast with new products creating a broader range being actively sourced and added to on a constant basis .
Keep on asking and we ’ ll keep on looking at products to add to our Going Green range .
