A push on plastic with Wool Pots

In a world drowning under the weight of plastic, our gardens and green spaces have not been spared. Each year, millions of plant pots contribute to our ecological crisis, casting a shadow on the vibrant tapestry of our horticultural legacy. But what if we could redefine the way we nurture nature?

Can the fleece of sheep truly pave the way to a greener tomorrow with wool pots?

Join us, as we venture into a journey of discovery, diving deep into solutions, innovations, and the incredible minds propelling our industry into a sustainable future.

This is not just a podcast; this is a call to action, an inspiration to all who believe in a world where gardens not only bloom but thrive sustainably.
In this episode I'm joined by Graham from Wool Pots. They had an idea to ditch the mountain of plastic pots that plagues horticulture and knit their way into garden centres and nurseries on stitch at a time. Can wool pots be the sustainable answer for our plants of the future? They're already making huge strides with trials in some of the UK's biggest garden centre chains... No corner is left unturned as we discuss the challenges and hurdles that come with a drive for a more sustainable future.
