Every time you comment or complain to a supermarket about our plants we receive this information. We analyse your feedback on a weekly basis and use it both to guide the staff packing your plants and in the longer term to inform our choice of plants and packaging.

We are actually working towards Eurep GAP standards and aim to be fully third party audited by mid 2004. A system of weekly forecasting ensures high levels of availability of plants in peak condition for you to buy.

You as a consumer are increasingly concerned that the produce you buy is grown and transported in a way that does not damage the environment.

Some examples of the way we have tackled your concerns are:

• 75% Use of biological methods for crop protection against pest and disease, rather than conventional methods.

• 20% reduction in use of gas to heat our crops through state of the art computer controls.
• Separation and recycling of all possible packaging material.
• Sealed watering systems that eliminate waste of water and nutrients.

Double H Nurseries Ltd. comprises three sites in the South of England covering around 60,000 m² of greenhouses in which we grow upwards of 4 million flowering pot plants a year. As part of the community (in each location of our production) we recognise our responsibility to care for the internal, local and global environment. We are committed to meeting or surpassing the requirements of all environmental law that applies to our business.

Our principle customers are major supermarket retailers and we aim to assist and support them in leading the development of more environmentally conscious production with particular emphasis on energy efficiency, peat reduction, pesticide reduction and waste recycling. Furthermore we will strive, wherever practical, to minimise the negative and maximise the positive environmental impacts of our activities through the introduction of management systems that will promote continual improvement.
