Introducing our 2026 Limited Edition bag - Cottage Garden - with original artwork by Sally Swannell.
This year we’re celebrating the classic British cottage garden and the powerful role our gardens play in supporting biodiversity. From providing habitats for pollinators and wildlife to improving soil health, reducing waste, and lowering food miles, even the smallest gardens contribute to a wider green network. This year’s original artwork shines a light on the responsibility we all share in protecting the natural world.
This bag size is ideal for top dressing small to medium indoor plant pots. Great for cacti, succulents and houseplants. Alternatively you can mix the shells into soil or compost to improve drainage and aeration.
Our Potting Cup is the perfect tool for scooping and decanting shells and other substrates.
