This product not only embodies environmental responsibility but also supports local communities by utilizing shells that would otherwise be discarded as waste. The shells are collected through traditional, low-impact fishing methods employed by a family-run seafood business, ensuring minimal disruption to marine ecosystems. By choosing Shell on Earth, you are not just enhancing your garden; you are also contributing to sustainable practices that protect our oceans and promote local economies.
As a natural slug deterrent, crushed whelk shells create an effective barrier against these garden pests, making them an ideal choice for protecting your garden borders, flower beds, and rockeries. Beyond their protective qualities, these shells also serve a decorative purpose, adding a unique touch to your outdoor spaces. Their aesthetic appeal, combined with their functionality, makes them a versatile addition to any garden, enhancing both beauty and health.
The commitment to sustainability extends beyond the product itself, as Shell on Earth is packaged in fully recyclable materials, promoting eco-friendly gardening practices. The robust packaging is designed for reuse, encouraging gardeners to adopt a more sustainable approach to their gardening endeavors. Each bag provides generous coverage for approximately half a square meter, ensuring that you can effectively protect and beautify your garden space. By choosing Shell on Earth, you are not only investing in a high-quality product but also participating in a circular economy that values waste reduction and environmental stewardship.
Please be aware that this is a natural product from the sea, though every effort is made to remove foreign material.

Live Plants
Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
Non Standard Deliveries
Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.
