This breaks my heart: Spanish bluebells (left) spreading out of gardens into the wild, now a common sight across Ireland. Native bluebells (right) are so lovely, but will be pushed out. Why are non-native species known to be invasive STILL being sold in garden centres?

Every April and May, peat extraction for #horticulture & #gardening devastates bog ecosystems and releases CO2. The longer governments in the UK delay legislation, the more #peat is dug up. It's that simple. Contact your MP about the bill to end peat sales: peatfreepartnership.org.uk/get-involved/

👍 that UK Gov is working on a new framework for how we use our land. But 👎👎👎 that the review only considers a measly 12.7% of our land…! How’s that supposed to fit with our international nature pledge to protect 30% of land by 2030? Nature isn’t an optional extra. We’re talking food vs no food.

1) This week we have seen the damage caused to the horticulture industry and nature by @marycreagh.bsky.social lack of action in pushing the already agreed peat compost ban through parliament - everyone is asking for this legislation and has been for decades. We fought for it! Now, nothing, why?
