"We have used Porters for a couple of years now, purchasing a range of bedding plants and planted containers. We were extremely impressed with the quality, value and customer service during our first year trading with them, so much so that we have since significantly increased our purchasing from them.

"Alan, Natalie and the team are always on the other end of the phone and are always a pleasure to deal with."

Huw Lewis, Old Railway Line Garden Centre

"Happy by name and happy by nature. We have received friendly smiling service from the outset with nothing being too much trouble, backed up by quality plants at good prices, with a strong brand. A major contributor to our bedding range now."

Our sustainability ethos

Two men smile at the camera while working amongst flowers in a greenhouse.

As a company, we have been awarded multiple accolades for sustainability, especially for leading the industry through a move away from non-recyclable packaging.

Whilst there is still huge progress to be made, we pride ourselves on the fact that every decision we taken is made with thorough investigation of the full processes involved, and the life-cycles of all materials involved.

We strive to remain at the forefront of sustainable advances, and to continue to help the industry make the progress needed to allow our processes and materials to better complement the ‘green’ nature of the products that we produce.

  • 97% of packaging now recycled and recyclable
  • Compostable transport trays used wherever possible
  • 6,000,000-litre rainwater harvesting facility installed
  • Working closely with growing media suppliers to develop transparent, scalable, and truly sustainable progress with regards to substrate usage.
