Gardeners' Right to Know
Not only are garden centres playing a shell game – allowing their suppliers to switch out neonics for newer systemic pesticides that can harm pollinators but they’re greenwashing you and me with their promotion of “pollinator-friendly” plants.
Your gift will help Friends of the Earth with its three-point plan:
1. conduct flower testing across the country to expose pesticides used
2. mobilize gardeners to insist on their right to know what chemicals are used on plants offered as “pollinator friendly” and
3. launch a legal challenge for greenwashing against companies we expose.
