Buying plants grown without synthetic insecticides will help to prevent pollinator declines and will also benefit insect-eating wildlife such as hedgehogs, sparrows and frogs. Plants displaying our Saving Pollinators logo have been proven to support pollinators by the Botanic Garden’s research scientists and grown without the use of synthetic insecticides and peat compost.
