Save your seeds
- Pot-grown plants are usually grown in large nurseries, where they’re exposed to artificial lighting and heat, and then transported in lorries to individual garden centres across the country and most are grown in peat (which is a unique and precious store of carbon).
- By saving your seeds after buying from locally sources, your plants will become locally adaptable to climate change and environmental conditions as well as being more nutritious.
- To reduce emissions, buy seed from local seed swaps and gardening groups, or save your own instead of purchasing pre-grown plants.
