Hurray! Some good news for bees at last. Our new government has followed the science, and refused the application by sugar beet farmers to use banned neonicotinoid pesticides.

If you want to see clear labelling on products that use peat in the supply chain please sign and share: #retailers-open-letter" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">wildlifetrusts.org/peat-inspector… #PeatFree #Sustainable #Gardening #Nature #NatureLovers #Garden #Horticulture #Wildlife #UK

I know we only tweeted this yesterday, but please take the time to read and sign the letter - accurate labelling on peat content would mean we can highlight those retailers that *are* making a difference.

It’s time to make it legal- we need a law to ensure #peat stays in the ground where it belongs We’re joining forces with the horticultural industry and many others to ask @keir_starmer to #EndPeatSales now @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP Read more 👇 peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sales

Why do we need to #EndPeatSales? Why do our #peatlands need protecting? See the answers and more details on our open letter to @Keir_Starmer below👇 peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sales @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @beardygardener @AlysFowler @pumpkin_beth
