products is boosting sales - and those sales could be going

through your checkout.

currently no minimum independent standards for growing

media and associated products. Melcourt Industries Ltd are

the only supplier of these kinds of products that fulfil the

requirements of and are endorsed by the Royal Horticultural

Society.

The Royal Horticultural Society was established in 1804 and is

widely recognised as the world’s leading authoritative garden

voice with over 460,00 members, over 2 million annual visits to

their gardens and shows, and over 7 million unique monthly

visits to their website at www.rhs.org.uk

We are told by a growing number of garden retailers that

one of the key reasons for stocking Melcourt products is the

measurable benefit that RHS endorsement brings.
