Environmental Sustainability
Estelle Davis RHS Mhort. BA (Hons)
In 2021 I completed 5 years of study for my RHS Master Of Horticulture at RHS Wisley.
I also gained the Chitterden Award for achieving the highest overall mark.
My research focused on the environmental sustainability of urban domestic gardens; a subject highly relevant to our business sector and top of global agenda.
My understanding of how gardening activities can affect the environment underpins the business we are today and compasses all our activities from plant selection to the aftercare and maintenance packages.
Becoming more sustainable in our activities increases biodiversity, eliminates the reliance on harmful chemicals, and improves soil and plant health. The aesthetical outcomes are truly amazing too!
We can all play a part in encouraging nature and reduce our carbon footprint. Here are some takeaway ideas to get you started!
- No mow areas
- Sowing a meadow
- Composting kitchen waste
- Introducing water in the form of a pond or a sunken bowl
- Leaving foliage over winter. Enjoy the frosted seed head displays!
