New APSE Approved Partner: Welcome Fargro!

New APSE Approved Partner: Welcome Fargro!

APSE has approved Fargro, the specialist horticultural wholesaler and Royal Warrant holder, as a supplier to its member councils - giving local authority grounds and amenity teams access to Fargro's biological controls, technical horticultural products and advice.

Fargro has over 80 years of experience supplying growers, retailers and amenity professionals across the UK. As an Approved APSE Partner, member councils can source:

  • Koppert biological controls - beneficial insects, nematodes and other biological solutions that help manage pests naturally and reduce reliance on conventional pesticides.
  • Fargro's Technical Range - a suite of specialist products and technical advice spanning plant health, plant nutrition and the root zone, backed by Fargro's own Technical team. It gives maintenance teams a joined-up, sustainable approach to keeping plants and green spaces healthy.
  • Fargro’s Amenity Range - fertilisers, lawn and grass seed, and grounds-care inputs for maintaining turf and public green spaces.

With councils under growing public scrutiny around pesticide use and continued budget pressure, biological controls offer a practical, sustainable way to manage pest pressure across parks, green spaces and other public-facing sites, supported by Fargro's Technical Team.

 

"We're pleased to welcome Fargro to our approved supplier network. Our members are increasingly looking for sustainable ways to maintain parks and green spaces, and Fargro's biological controls and technical expertise give grounds teams practical options that reduce reliance on conventional pesticides." – Mo Baines, Chief Executive at APSE.

 

"We're pleased to be approved by APSE. Councils are under real pressure to keep green spaces to a high standard, sustainably and within tight budgets. Our Technical Team works directly with grounds and amenity professionals to build practical programmes that suit how they work, and we're looking forward to supporting APSE members across the country." - Alex Matthews, Head of Agronomy at Fargro.
