We’re thrilled to share that Outside Lives, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the wellbeing of both people and the planet, is making a big difference with our Dandy’s Peat Free Compost!
Situated on a beautiful four-acre site just outside Gwernymynydd, Outside Lives is more than just a green space – it’s a hub of community, creativity, and connection. With projects running across multiple community venues and locations, their mission is clear: to bring people and nature together in meaningful, restorative ways.
As they continue to grow, quite literally, the support of sustainable suppliers like Dandy’s plays a crucial role. Known for our high-quality, eco-friendly gardening products, we provided a discounted supply of peat-free compost, aligning perfectly with Outside Lives’ commitment to environmentally responsible practices.
Why peat free? Because protecting our peatlands is critical to fighting climate change and preserving biodiversity. Peatlands are some of the most efficient carbon sinks on Earth, and peat-free alternatives like Dandy’s Multi Purpose Peat Free Compost help reduce the environmental impact of gardening and land management.
This compost will be used in a variety of garden and growing spaces across the Outside Lives network, from therapeutic horticulture sessions to community garden projects, giving people the chance to get their hands in the soil and experience the benefits of being outdoors.
Stace from Outside Lives got in touch:
"At our HQ, we have a thriving kitchen and vegetable garden that’s been lovingly developed by our volunteer team. We’ve been using your topsoil to fill our planting beds - and we wanted to say how impressed we’ve been with the quality. Our volunteers have consistently commented on how good it is, especially in comparison to other suppliers we’ve tried in the past.
We work with volunteers from all walks of life and run a variety of inclusive, community-led projects that promote sustainability, well-being, and connection to the natural world.
We just wanted to say a massive thank you for your generous discount and to Dandy's for keeping our community growing!"
