The Gardens are now selling popular ‘refillable’ eco products as part of its green ambitions.
From February our small – but charming!- courtyard shop will have some additions to its homemade jams and locally made honey and beeswax soaps.
The Trust have teamed up with Miniml, the Yorkshire based friendly chemical company, to get access to a small range of eco cleaning products: washing up liquid, hand soap and surface cleaner and customers can come to the shop to fill up their own bottles.
Anji, one of the Gardens’ Front of House team said:
“We make sure we use eco-safe products when we do the cleaning here, so it really makes sense to share that option with our visitors.”
General Manager Glynis Powell agreed,
“Like us, our visitors want to do the best by the planet and ‘refillables’ are a great way to save on single use plastics and too many expensive shopping journeys. Visitors tell us they just can’t find anywhere locally where they can, so we’re trying to change that.”
The Shop is free to enter and open when the Gardens are open (Weds- Sunday 10.30 – 3.30pm )
Anji added “We’re starting with just a few products to see what people think. People can bring their own bottles or get one from us that they can use again”
Come round sometime and join in the circular economy – and why not check out the snowdrops and aconites in the Gardens while you’re here.
Miniml products are 100% Vegan, operate a Zero Waste Circular system, are Cruelty Free and only use natural and plant based ingredients.. and they’re an independent business based in Britain (Yorkshire!)… what’s not to like
