Ever wondered how peat-free compost is made?💚 We visited one of our amazing suppliers, Casswells Ecogreen Compost in Lincolnshire, to see first‑hand how their peat‑free compost is made. What began just a few years ago as compost for James’s own farm has grown into something really special – rooted in care for the land and doing things properly, from the ground up🐝 As a family‑run business ourselves, James’s story really resonated. The local approach, the pride in every bag, and the belief that good growing starts with great compost – it’s a way of working we know well🤩 From growing the ingredients on the farm to bagging the compost on site, Casswells EcoGreen peat‑free compost is made with people and purpose at its heart – and you can shop it in our British Garden Centres NOW. A big thank you to James and the team for welcoming us in and sharing their story☀️ *Available in select British Garden Centres. #britishgardencentres #MakeItBloom
