PlantBox is our sustainable solution to achieve that and more! Beyond the obvious (and gorgeous) greening up of spaces, plants promote healthier communities by absorbing high levels of nasty pollutants and creating cleaner air for us to breathe. Simply spending time around plants improves our mood and reduces stress and anxiety.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3735\" src=\"https:\/\/growingrevolution.a1.bc-staging.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/From-this.-.-.-3-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"PlantBox is made from 100% recycled materials\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/growingrevolution.a1.bc-staging.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/From-this.-.-.-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/growingrevolution.a1.bc-staging.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/From-this.-.-.-3-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/growingrevolution.a1.bc-staging.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/From-this.-.-.-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/growingrevolution.a1.bc-staging.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/From-this.-.-.-3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/growingrevolution.a1.bc-staging.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/From-this.-.-.-3-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/growingrevolution.a1.bc-staging.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/From-this.-.-.-3-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/growingrevolution.a1.bc-staging.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/From-this.-.-.-3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n<p><strong>How PlantBox is Sustainable<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re committed to greening up the planet with more than just plants. That\u2019s why PlantBox is designed to be as super-sustainable as possible:<br \/>\n\u25cf PlantBox is made in the UK from 100% recycled materials. We also use 100% recycled cardboard packaging and potato starch bags to hold the small bits, avoiding single-use plastic and wasteful padding.<br \/>\n\u25cf The cascading watering system eliminates the need for daily watering and prevents water wastage. Each PlantBox has a water level indicator to show exactly how thirsty plants are and holds enough water for 1 to 2 weeks.<br \/>\n\u25cf <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1% of PlantBox sales is pledged to 1% For The Planet, a global organisation that supports non-profits who are tackling our most pressing environmental issues. We also support local community projects to help people reconnect with nature, such as the creation of wellbeing gardens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sustainability Doesn\u2019t Stop There&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aside from packing lots of living, breathing plants into a small space and giving local biodiversity a much-needed boost, PlantBox can be used to create a vertical allotment, heaving with home-grown fruits, veggies and herbs. Planting nectar-rich flowers encourages bees, butterflies and other pollinators, providing them with a vital source of food and shelter, especially in the concrete wastelands of our cities. How you wish to support the planet with your vertical garden is up to you!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates For The Calendar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can find PlantBox at the following:<br \/>\n6th\u201411th July <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rhs.org.uk\/shows-events\/rhs-hampton-court-palace-garden-festival\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival 2021<\/a><br \/>\n21st\u201426th September <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rhs.org.uk\/shows-events\/rhs-chelsea-flower-show\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We look forward to seeing you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are thrilled to announce PlantBox is a RHS Chelsea Sustainable Garden Product of the Year 2021 Finalist!\u00a0 PlantBox, the cleverly simple vertical garden, was launched last year and is helping to transform gardens, patios and balconies across the UK.
