From Soil to Stage – RocketGro Joins the Yeo Valley Organic Garden Festival
We’re delighted to have RocketGro as headline sponsor of the first-ever Yeo Valley Organic Garden Festival. They are our Somerset neighbours, peat-free pioneers and all-round good eggs!

RocketGro's composts, soil improvers and mulches are 100% peat-free, Soil Association-approved and part made using by-products from renewable energy. That means they’re not only good for your garden, but they’re helping to keep precious peat bogs right where they belong - soaking up carbon and sheltering wildlife!
Peat-Free and Proud
At Yeo Valley Organic we grow with care and try to leave a lighter footprint in the garden. Peatlands are vital carbon sinks and biodiversity havens, but years of digging have taken their toll. By choosing peat-free products, you’re doing your bit to protect these wild places and RocketGro makes it easier for all of us with top-notch compost that’s kind to the planet and to your plants.
RocketGro are kindly supporting The Hive, our main stage, where the likes of Arit Anderson, Frances Tophill and Tom Massey will be sharing brilliant garden ideas and planet-positive inspiration.
As Sarah Mead, our Head Gardener, puts it:
“We’re so excited to have RocketGro on board. Their down-to-earth ethos is a perfect fit for our garden and our festival. It’s a pleasure to have them on this journey with us.”
Toby Thomas co-founder of RocketGro shared his enthusiasm saying:
“RocketGro is very much about making gardening accessible and we love that, not only is this exciting new horticultural festival set to take place in a region we are extremely proud of, but also that Yeo Valley Organic is seeking to cut through the jargon that can put some gardeners off. Events like this are the lifeblood of our industry and are an important way to support and inspire gardeners of all skillsets.”
