RocketGro delivers where other suppliers can’t
GTN Xtra Promotion

 

The gardening sector is awash with promises of great stock availability and fast fulfilment, but not all brands are able to keep up with demand. You’ll find no such broken promises with RocketGro, as the game-changing peat-free brand has safeguarded supply and maintained stock levels to help retailers maximise opportunities this season.  

 

Despite significantly bolstering the number of garden centres it serves, British growing media producer RocketGro has a proven track record of rapid, reliable fulfilment and excellent stock availability, with full-load deliveries reaching customers within a week of being ordered.

 

It’s been a record year for RocketGro so far, as the appetite for its products soars, but thanks to a firm focus on operational efficiency, the Somerset peat-free producer has been able to maintain stock levels across all lines, with nothing going out of stock. 

 

Ideally placed to help you expand your range or top up orders, RocketGro offers a comprehensive range of peat-free, coir-free, Soil Association-approved organic composts, mulch, and liquid plant feed, all made in Britain using renewable green energy, and ready to dispatch swiftly to meet the needs of garden centres across the UK.

 

An impressive 99% client retention rate from 2024 to 2025 is testament to RocketGro’s track record, as garden centres praise the performance of its range and quality of service.

 

RocketGro’s Multi-Purpose 50-litre compost is now the number-one bestselling compost in hundreds of garden centres, whilst its flagship Magic Mulch has secured a firm fanbase, which includes the head gardener at the iconic River Cottage culinary organisation, for which RocketGro is exclusive compost provider. Browse RocketGro’s range of composts, soil improving, soil conditioning and natural fertiliser products today to see how they can enhance your offer and boost your sales. 

 

Toby Thomas, Managing Director at RocketGro said: “We are having an exceptional year so far and are delighted that our focus on stock availability and distribution times have helped strengthen the position of our customers this season, arming them with the products they need when they need them, so that they are able to capitalise on the spikes in demand the good weather can bring.

 

“We remain committed to helping gardeners achieve showstopping results, whilst supporting the environment, and have plenty of stock bagged and ready to go for any garden centres who want to supplement their standard growing media offer with stand-out peat-free, organic lines.”

 

For more about the RocketGro operation, take a look at the brand’s recent appearance in the first of the Peat-free Partnership’s new ‘Hort Shorts’ series, which puts the spotlight on peat-free success stories from within the industry.
