Air-Pot containers have been chosen by horticultural experts running a project in Wales to help boost biodiversity and enrich the country\u2019s native tree and plant populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The initiative in Denbighshire employs a team at a council owned farm in St Asaph that became a 70-acre nursery in 2022, specifically for harvesting seeds and growing on plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re delighted that Air-Pot containers have been instrumental in this innovative Welsh government funded project. The nursery at Green Gates Farm, with the help of a small volunteer team, has already produced around 40,000 native trees and wildflowers and has room to grow up to 300,000 more plants. The seeds are harvested from ancient and veteran trees mostly on Denbighshire Council land, but also from National Trust properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liam Blazey, Chief Biodiversity Officer for Denbighshire Council, explains: \u201cFor us, using Air-Pot containers was all about the health of the plants and the sustainability they offer. They also allow us to operate an easy maintenance programme depending on when we have volunteers to assist us. We\u2019re now inviting other councils in Wales to see what we\u2019re doing, to encourage them to set up their own projects and nurseries.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
