Celebrating Earth Day with Secret Garden Distillery

Celebrating Earth Day with Secret Garden Distillery: Embracing Nature and Sustainability

This Earth Day, we’re celebrating the heart of what makes Secret Garden Distillery truly special—our deep-rooted connection to nature and our commitment to sustainable distilling. Tucked away in our vibrant Distillery Garden, we’re surrounded by the very botanicals that inspire and flavour our spirits. Join us as we honour the Earth and share how our garden-grown approach helps protect the planet we all call home.

A Garden of Wonders

Our distillery isn’t just where we make spirits—it’s where nature leads the way. From fragrant lavender and heritage roses to fresh mint and citrus herbs, every plant in our garden is nurtured organically and sustainably. These botanicals are more than ingredients; they’re a reflection of our belief in purity, purpose, and planet-first practices.

Sustainable Practices at the Core

At Secret Garden Distillery, sustainability is more than a principle—it’s the foundation of everything we do. As we celebrate Earth Day, we’re proud to share the eco-friendly practices that shape our distillery and protect the planet.

1. Biodiversity & Organic Farming
   We grow our botanicals using biodiversity-friendly, organic farming methods, completely free from synthetic fertilisers and harmful pesticides. This approach supports local ecosystems, enhances soil health, and ensures our spirits are crafted with the purest, most natural ingredients straight from our garden.
2. Zero Waste & Eco-Conscious Production
   Reducing waste is central to our mission. From composting garden cuttings to recycling packaging and using reusable materials wherever possible, we follow a zero-waste distilling approach that minimises our environmental impact at every step.
3. Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
   We’re on a journey to become a carbon-negative distillery by 2030. Key milestones include utilising a sustainable water source via our onsite borehole and working alongside Climate Springboard and RBS to develop a robust Carbon Planner. Every action is a step toward a more sustainable future.

This Earth Day, we reaffirm our commitment to creating sustainable, small-batch spirits that honour the land they come from.

Tips for Home Gardening

To celebrate Earth Day, we’d love to share some tips for creating your own sustainable garden at home:

1. Choose Native Plants: Native plants are well-adapted to your local climate and soil, requiring less water and maintenance.
2. Compost: Turn kitchen scraps and garden waste into nutrient-rich compost to enrich your soil and reduce waste.
3. Collect Rainwater: Use rain barrels to collect and store rainwater for watering your garden.
4. Mulch: Apply a layer of mulch around your plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil health.
5. Plant Pollinator-Friendly Flowers: Attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators by planting a variety of flowers that bloom at different times of the year.
