With the arrival of warmer weather, more and more people are turning to garden improvements and updates, so they have the ultimate socialising and relaxing space to enjoy. While it may seem like an eco-friendly hobby, gardening can harm the environment without you realising it. Primeur offers eco-friendly garden products made from recycled materials which provide great potential to create positive change with sustainable garden ideas and can be used by anyone with a green thumb or not. Primeur has put together some of our favourite organic garden ideas from its award-winning Eco-Garden portfolio that can also be implemented in small gardens.

- Mildew and mould resistant
- Lightweight means it can be easily relocated around the home, garden, or instore
- Plant-safe and harmful toxin free
- Easy installation

Water Conservation
If we experience a dry and exceptionally hot summer like 2022, water rationing may become a reality, and this is where self-watering planters are a game changer. Container plants are most at risk from drying out rapidly during dry spells, so Primeur’s Tierra Verde planters (RRP from £18.99) are revolutionary in the marketplace and it’s easy to see why. Lightweight, and unbreakable with all-weather durability, the sleek self-watering planters come in black/slate and steel grey, creating an elegant and clean silhouette when placed indoors or outside. Plant-safe and toxin-free, Tierra Verde planters come in all shapes and sizes with a self-watering base that has been designed to collect excess water, preventing wastage due to run-off, and providing a handy moisture resource that can water the plant when required.
GYO
With reports about fruit and vegetable shortages in the UK due to intemperate climate conditions and the current cost of living crisis, you can save money and beat the supermarket rations by growing your own at home. With rich architectural detail and a clean finish, the Tierra Verde Flamenco Planter (RRP £79.99) is perfect for a patio fruit bush, whilst the Sonata Trough Planter (RRP from £29.99) can be used to create a lovely herb garden or the perfect addition to your country kitchen windowsill.
The Baritone Planter (RRP from £38.99) is available in two sizes and suits tumbling tomatoes whilst the deeper Symphony Planter can be home to root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, beetroots or parsnips due to its depth. What’s more, the planters will insulate plant roots, protecting them from extreme temperatures from -50°c to + 50°c.
When planning a vegetable bed or allotment, Primeur’s EZ Border (RRP from £14.99) collection has won a prestigious Garden Landscaping Award. With popular colours and styles in scallops and brick effect, this lightweight alternative to heavy concrete edging means you can add shape and character to your garden or allotment quickly and easily. Ideal for those new to gardeners, the EZ borders can enhance the shape, length, and curve of garden beds, vegetable patches, or pathways without specialist tools due to their uniquely flexible nature.
Primeur’s Eco-way stepping-stone collection (RRP £12.99) paves the way after the wettest March in over 40 years. With lawns and pathways still waterlogged from the rain, the stepping stones are the best solution to creating non-slip pathways and appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. Whilst being a safe alternative to traditional materials providing a softer surface in the events of trips, slips or falls- making them perfect for gardens with children.
Not only are the recycled rubber stepping stones virtually indestructible – unlike their easily smashed stone counterparts – but they are also incredibly durable too and provide a decorative solution to a garden that needs a boost, tapping into the current trend for low-maintenance gardening.
For gardens with a tiered patio, a balcony needing an update, or decking that needs TLC, homeowners cannot go wrong with Primeur’s Recycled Rubber Deck Tiles (RRP £26.99) are a safer substitute for decking that won’t rot or become slippery, unlike traditional timber planks.
With a simple click-together mechanism, the tiles are low maintenance, and don’t attract mould or mildew. This means that the deck won’t get covered in green algae or become slippery, helping to reduce cleaning costs and the need for harmful chemicals.
