There is no doubt that organic gardening is growing in popularity. Where chemical based solutions once dominated, there is now a clear and distinct shift towards a need and want for greener solutions. The obvious driver of this has been the rise of Grow-Your-Own as consumers look to reduce their food miles and take responsibility for the impact their diet has upon the environment. However, a new revolution is taking over – veganism – which is seeing green and organic product ranges benefiting from exponential growth.
It is estimated that there are now 3.5million vegans in the UK (*Comparethemarket, 2018). Similarly, The Guardian reported in 2018 that one in eight of the population now identifies as vegan or vegetarian. According to The Vegan Society, in 2018, the UK launched more vegan products than any other nation.
Introducing Nature Safe
With vegans cutting all animal-based products out of purchasing decisions, and growing demand for natural, organic solutions, a new generation of eco-friendly products that are free from animal derivatives and chemicals are driving change. One supplier who has recognised this potential is Ireland based, Hygeia. This Glee, the company has officially launched ‘Nature Safe’, a complete range of eco- friendly, 100% organic plant and lawn feeds that perfectly fit the vegan and organic agenda.
Tapping into a more sustainable style of gardening, the Nature Safe range – exclusive to Hygeia – offers four exciting new products: Lawn Feed with Seed, Patch Fix Seed with Feed, Granular Plant Food, and Liquid Plant Food with Seaweed.
