We all love hardwood furniture, but not if it’s at the expense of the dwindling rainforests. So our product buyers have spent the last few years searching for sources of timber that don’t compromise the environment. They’ve worked closely with organisations, such as Greenpeace and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), so that you can rest assured that the timber we use comes from sustainable sources. Today, all our timber comes from strictly managed forests that have been checked and approved by the Tropical Forest Trust (TFT). In fact, we are the only leading garden furniture supplier that can guarantee all their hardwood furniture is made from timber sourced from Tropical Forest Trust (TFT) forests. By liasing closely with Greenpeace and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), we’ve been able to produce guidelines which allow us to offer this unique environmental guarantee on all our hardwood products. As Nathan Argent (Ancient Forest Campaigner at Greenpeace) explained, ‘We are pleased that GoneGardening.com (Crocus.co.uk Ltd) have taken such decisive steps to tackle this issue and removed all controversial sources of timber from their supply chain.’
