Wool Pots have been created by Tom & Graham who were horrified to discover that over 500 million plastic plant pots were being sent to landfill in the UK every year because they are not recyclable. Farmers are burning their wool because they have no viable market for their fleeces.

With these two challenges in mind Wool Pots have been created as a zero waste alternative to plastic pots and a huge benefit to the planet.
We have friends who farm sheep and it gives us huge pride have created a new range of products that will find a home for their “unloved” wool.
