All I think of is least I’m not buying handbags and shoes etc , … thanks for this I have used Chris bowers for my fruit trees but not heard of Keepers! Could be expensive weekend …I’ll blame it on you 😉
Thank you for this post. Some new nurseries for me to look up there.. could be expensive!! It would be wonderful if more nurseries sold bare root, there are trade ones but not many for general retail. Reducing plastic in the industry is hard. At work we reuse, and our pots are been phased into ones that can be recycled. I’m sure there is more we can do, hopefully we can start to make changes.
I know I have to hold on to my purse quite tightly too :D There are several good fruit tree suppliers who do bare root trees and bushes (though aren't overtly peat-free as far as I'm aware) - the ones I like and have given me some really nice plants are Ashridge Trees (www.ashridgetrees.co.uk), Keepers (www.keepers-nursery.co.uk), Chris Bowers (www.chrisbowers.co.uk) and Adam's Apples (www.adamsappletrees.co.uk) Bare root season isn't over yet , either - it runs till around mid-end March (sorry, I think I've just added even more to your shopping list!! :D)
