Hozelock: The natural approach to gardening
GTN Xtra Promotion

Today’s gardeners are reaching less for chemicals and more for organic and natural solutions to create their green garden. 

 

The trend of natural gardening has risen in the past year, with enthusiastic gardeners of all abilities seeking a connection to nature, after spending an increasing amount of time at home, and a desire to become more self-sufficient. As a result, there has been an increase among gardeners in growing their own produce and creating an environment for wildlife to thrive. 

 

This provides an opportunity for garden centre retailers to maximise sales by expanding their product offering and potentially reaching a new audience. 

 

Gardens can flourish naturally using Hozelock’s Pure range, which is a collection of gardening equipment that helps consumers better connect with their gardens whilst also caring for the environment. 

 

For garden centre retailers looking to offer natural gardening solutions, Hozelock’s Pure Kit is a key product as it enables gardeners to create their own homemade solutions for a number of tasks, such as preventing aphids to removing limescale on a stainless steel surface. 

 

 

Hozelock’s BioMix or Bokashi Composter are key products in this category and will target those looking to make their own nutrient rich fertiliser or base for first grade compost at home without the pungent smell or mess.

 

The Bokashi Composter also helps to eliminate food waste and reduce the amount of kitchen waste going to landfill, which is perfect for those looking to live more sustainably. 

 

By harnessing the power of nature, gardeners can make solutions from lavender and ivy grown in their garden with the Hozelock BioMix, which can be used to repel aphids, ants, whitefly and red spiders. Healthy plants grown in this way are naturally more resistant to pests and diseases, reducing the need for chemical pesticide applications.
