Recycling

Recycling is a way of life at Fron Goch; we recycle all our food waste, glass, tins, cardboard and paper, polythene and plastic bottles. We encourage our customers to do the same. With a compost bin you can increase your recycling potential. We also provide a ‘pot swap’ station, this gives our customers the opportunity to use and recycle unwanted plastic pots and carry trays.

Saving Water

We endeavour to limit the amount of water we consume as a business and offer a range of products for you to save water and limit your usage.

Did you know we now have eco-friendly waterless urinals!

Water Butts

Water Butts are essential for your garden.

Almost 10,000 average litres of rainwater falls on our house roofs each year so by collecting it in a water butt, you have a ready source of water that can help keep your garden looking lush and green.

A water butt can be connected to a downpipe so that it collects rainwater from your gutters. If you are using a downpipe, you will also need an overflow pipe or a rain diverter to redirect water into the butt. Once it’s full, water flows down the drainpipe.
A gutter filter will also keep out unwanted debris.

Health & Wellbeing

No matter what your age or level of experience, gardening has been proven to have many benefits for our health and wellbeing. Not only does it provide us with exercise and help us stay active, it helps to relieve stress, promotes a connection with nature and encourages relaxation and mindfulness. Learning and sharing new skills is very rewarding and nothing beats growing your own tasty fruit and vegetables. Sharing all this with family and friends helps you to create memories that last a lifetime.

At Fron Goch we enjoy helping you to get the most out of your garden and outdoor spaces, hoping to help you create a happier and healthier you.

Peat Policy

Fron Goch Garden Centre shares public concern in reducing peat use to minimize the effects of global peat extraction on peat bog habitats. Our range includes an ever-expanding and ever-improving variety of PEAT FREE composts as an alternative for customers, which we actively promote by offering the best possible price we can, encouraging customers to make the switch. Many viable peat alternatives exist which are either completely peat-free or of reduced peat content.
Our suppliers have improved labelling and information on their packaging, enabling our customers to make informed decisions about peat alternatives when purchasing growing medium.

Did you know: We use 100% PEAT FREE compost in our own nursery for our seasonal bedding plants.
