The sectors we support…
Harrowden is uniquely placed to support the public sector, whether that is local authorities, colleges and universities or central government departments.
Harrowden enjoys a unique position in the horticulture sector. The business can bring over 60 years of professional expertise to any project. It continues to bring innovation to the sector and enjoys an unrivalled breadth of capability from agriculture, transport, development and delivery.
We are a silver FORS business; and have achieved a full suite of ISO quality standards.
We also do our best to support key horticulture initiatives supporting pollinators and adopting exemplary farm standards. Moreover, we are proud of our position in the UK market and work continually to bring innovation and new technology to the sector. Having adopted the latest turf harvesting technology from the United States we have continued to innovate. In recent years developing cutting-edge turf, wildflower turf and seed varieties to address the changing climate conditions, the move to greener alternatives and the constant pace of consumer demand.
This year we have taken control of our own wildflower seed production. Uniquely, we have taken the unprecedented step of taking complete ownership of our wildflower seed product throughout its lifecycle. So, we are growing our own plants, cleaning our own seeds and bringing our own seeds to market. Not only will we be using our own seed to create our Meadowmat Wildflower Turf but we are also making it available to our various markets as fully traceable wildflower seed mixes.
Having achieved a clean sweep of ISO accreditations across the business – ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 – in Transport, Customer Service, Accounting and Business Continuity we continue to boost training across the business and bring new, consistent processes on stream across all our locations.
If you take that ever-expanding product range and put it together with a transport team recognised by FORS and enjoying agreements with national transport partners; growing units on both sides of the country and a team of people working together you have a benchmark horticultural business.
If you’re looking for a grower who understands public sector support and supply – then look no further. We already have several councils and colleges as significant customers and we can support your BNG ambitions; your drive to cut costs by adopting sedum and wildflower on verges and highways; by supplying specialised seed varieties for coastal areas and reclaimed projects as well as having a range of green roof options.
“We have been relying on Harrowden for over 8 years, and their service and turf quality consistently exceed our expectations. The professionalism and commitment of their team have been instrumental in the success of our landscaping projects.”
