Harrowden: Science Led Green Infrastructure for a Resilient Public Realm

Local and central government teams are being asked to deliver greener, healthier and more resilient places while meeting Biodiversity Net Gain requirements and net zero commitments. Harrowden supports this shift with landscape solutions grounded in UK based growing, stewardship led farming and PhD level research and development that ensures every product performs in real world public sector environments.

As the UK’s largest grower of turf, wildflower turf, sedum and green roof systems, we supply the living infrastructure that strengthens place quality and climate resilience: pollinator rich meadows for highways and parks, durable turf for high footfall civic spaces, and biodiverse green roofs that support heat mitigation, water management and urban ecology. Our R&D programme continually refines seed mixes, turf cultivars and substrate blends to meet the challenges councils face — from shade tolerance and drought resilience to reduced input maintenance.

Across our farms, Higher Tier stewardship principles guide soil health, nutrient recovery, water efficiency and biodiversity monitoring. Combined with FORS accredited logistics and dependable national supply, Harrowden offers a partnership built on scientific rigour, operational reliability and measurable environmental value.

For public sector teams seeking proven, scalable and sustainable landscape solutions, Harrowden provides the expertise and evidence base to help towns in bloom become towns that thrive.
