Green Garden Centre

We are committed to green energy at Valleyside Garden Centre.

In 2013 we installed 78 solar PV panels at Valleyside providing over 60% of our electricity requirements. We have been converting all our lighting to energy efficient fluorescent tubes and LED lights.

Several years ago, we installed a biomass heater to use all our waste wood and some cardboard.

Latterly, we have installed a biomass hot air space heater that runs off waste wood pellets, in order to heat our main shop area, and in doing so limit or stop our use of all gas oil and diesel.

Rainwater recycling

Hidden behind the terracotta pots are two 15,000 litre water tanks. We collect and store water from our shop and greenhouse roofs, and use this water for plant irrigation. In addition most of the excess water that is normally wasted during irrigation is collected and recirculated back to the collection tanks.
We do everything we can to remain as green and eco-friendly as possible. Call  0114 230 1925
