Our Commitment to Sustainability

Growing a Greener Future

At Glenmore Nurseries, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that nurturing nature today means securing a healthier, greener future for generations to come. That’s why we are committed to sustainable practices throughout our entire operation – from plant propagation to delivery.

Sustainable Growing Practices

We take pride in growing our plants with care and consideration for the environment. Our sustainable horticultural practices include:

  • Efficient Water Management
    Utilising advanced irrigation systems to minimise water waste.
  • Peat-Reduced Compost
    Reducing peat usage to protect valuable peatlands and promote biodiversity.
  • Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
    Using natural pest control methods to minimise chemical interventions.
  • Soil Health Maintenance
    Enriching the soil with organic matter and maintaining balanced nutrition for healthy root development.

Native and Biodiversity-Focused Planting

We prioritise growing and sourcing native species to support local ecosystems and wildlife. By choosing plants that are well adapted to the UK climate, we reduce maintenance requirements and promote natural biodiversity.

Our planting schemes are designed to:

  • Encourage Pollinators
    Providing nectar-rich plants to support bees, butterflies, and other insects.
  • Enhance Wildlife Habitats
    Using native trees and hedging to create habitats for birds and small mammals.
  • Promote Ecological Restoration
    Supporting projects that revitalise natural habitats and increase biodiversity.

Reducing Carbon Footprint

We actively work to reduce our environmental impact through

  • Efficient Logistics
    Optimising delivery routes to minimise carbon emissions.

  • Local Sourcing
    Where possible, we grow and source plants within the UK to reduce transportation distances.

  • Recycling and Waste Reduction
    Using recyclable packaging and reducing plastic use wherever feasible.

Supporting Sustainable Projects

We are proud to partner with landscape architects, contractors, local authorities, and environmental organisations that share our commitment to sustainability. Our plants have been used in numerous conservation and rewilding projects, helping to restore and enhance natural habitats across the UK.
