Where Garden Products are concerned Green is going to be the new Black

At least as far as gardening products is concerned, “green” garden products are being demanded by more and more gardeners, everything from peat free compost to natural born killers like nematodes are seriously top of their shopping lists. That was the experience of AHS Direct following their attendance as an exhibitor at last week’s BBC Gardeners’ World Live Show at Birmingham’s NEC.

Earlier this year the team at AHS Direct announced its Committed to Change Policy, a determined effort to provide customers with a wide choice of environmentally friendly garden supplies, FSC and Managed Plantation timber goods, solar lighting & water features and organic pesticides and composts. Attending BBC Gardeners’ World Live gave AHS Direct a perfect insight into the needs and demands of today’s gardener, while providing the opportunity to spread the word about the AHS Direct policy. The objective is to get consumers thinking about the effect certain traditional gardening products and methods have on the environment and encourage alternatives that suit the individuals own preferred gardening methods.

The Committed to Change policy will continuously develop and as part of that development AHS Direct is pleased to announce the addition of Just Green products and Wildlife World products to its range. Both of these brands are synonymous with greener gardening, supplying everything from natural pesticide sprays, granules and tapes to nematodes and mites. Also included are products to help encourage beneficial wildlife into the garden – Ladybird breeding kits, live bee hives and hedgehog houses are just a few of the items which will be listed on the AHS Direct site. All of these are brilliant products which protect the natural elements of a garden, encourage bio-diversity and wildlife.

These ranges perfectly compliment the policy of AHS Direct and it is hoped more customers will consider adapting their gardening methods and do their bit for the environment. The best part is it doesn’t even have to be a huge change – if everyone did just one thing, together they would contribute to a bigger overall change, which would benefit us all.

AHS Direct welcomes comments and if you have any comments on greener gardening or want to share your experiences or ideas please do not hesitate to contact AHS Direct.
