PlantGrow, peat-free fertilisers and growing media made from plants

PlantGrow is a UK-based company dedicated to the manufacture and sale of natural fertilisers, peat-free compost and liquid plant feeds.

The company sells its range mainly through its online shop, with home delivery, and presents itself as a provider of solutions for beds, borders, pots and lawns. Its credentials include certification from the Soil Association and the Vegan Society, as well as the Sustainable Product of the Year 2024 award from the Society of Garden Designers.
