Enrich the Earth exists to accelerate the UK’s transition to sustainable, peat-free growing compost.

We do this by bringing together organisations best placed to deliver real change.

By uniting leaders from across horticulture, retail, research and environmental organisations, we aim to make peat-free growing the trusted, accessible and successful choice for gardeners across the UK.

Our Activities

We are delivering this ambition by:

  1. Building a strong and diverse coalition of forward-thinking organisations committed to promoting sustainable growing and supporting the transition away from peat.

  2. Generating robust evidence that demonstrates the transition to peat-free growing is essential, achievable, and capable of supporting innovation, growth and circular-economy ambitions.

  3. Supporting gardeners with clear guidance and practical advice, giving them the knowledge and confidence to choose and successfully use peat-free composts.

  4. Championing trusted quality standards for peat-free products so gardeners can have confidence in the materials they buy and the results they achieve.

  5. Identifying and advocating for policy and legislative change that will accelerate the shift to more sustainable growing practices across the UK.
