The day we have been planning for a while is here - we have launched our pledge for gardeners to go pesticide-free! Pledge to go pesticide-free
Pesticides (including herbicides, insecticides etc), are harmful to human health, wildlife and pets. If you've been reading our blog for a while, you'll know that we've been trying to persuade Leicester City Council to stop using glyphosate in our parks and green spaces for almost five years. They've made some progress in reducing their usage of this harmful chemical, but they are still spraying. We want to show them that Leicester's gardeners can manage without pesticides, so they should too! Can you help us by signing our pledge? It's not too late to make a new year's resolution for 2026. The thank you email has some advice on how to look after your garden without using chemicals. And please do sign even if you've been gardening organically for a long time. We are planning to use the postcodes (without linking them to people's names) to create a map of pesticide-free gardens across the city. If you're able to share with local friends and family after signing, that would help us to collect more pledges.
