Why This Historic Botanical Garden Ditched Traditional Potting Soil | RE-PEAT & Hortus Botanicus

In this quick 3-minute breakdown, we take a trip to the iconic Hortus Botanicus in Amsterdam to see how one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world is leading a modern green revolution by using 100% peat-free compost. Peatlands are the Earth's "underground rainforests" storing more carbon than all the world's forests combined. Yet, millions of tons are dug up and bagged for commercial gardening every year, releasing massive amounts of CO₂. Watch to find out why Hortus Botanicus made the switch, why peatland protection is vital for our future, and how you can easily transition your own garden to peat-free soil!
