We are striving for a greener Netherlands. Not only because we love green, but also because we are mindful of the diminishing bee population and other small insects. It is important to care for our nature to support the ecological balance.
How we help
We support growers who cultivate their plants naturally, using as few pesticides as possible and relying on nature as much as possible. The Dutch growers we work with have a passion for beautiful plants and cultivate them with knowledge and experience built up over generations. This is also why you cannot buy plants in our shop all year round. The plants are seasonal and are best moved to a new location in autumn or early spring. This way, we can offer you the best quality and the greatest chance of enjoying your new plant. We send your new plants together in one package during our shipping weeks. This is best for the plants. Additionally, we are looking for packaging that is as environmentally friendly as possible and sturdy enough to protect the plants during transit. For you, the shipping weeks mean you receive strong plants that you can plant directly in your garden. Let spring come!
How you help
By purchasing your plants from Clay & Roots, you support Dutch growers who are consciously cultivating plants naturally and engaging in socially responsible entrepreneurship. Because these plants are also grown for longer than regular garden plants, you are choosing a true quality product. Plants from our own country that can withstand a lot. And plants that will bloom beautifully in your garden. Not only is this wonderful to look at, but you also help butterflies, bees, and other small insects with a bit more greenery.
Together, we ensure that we make the Netherlands a little greener and happier.
