The Group

About us

PlantWorks Ltd have been producing mycorrhizal fungi since the beginning of 2000. These natural fungi are grown on host plants in greenhouses and thus represent a truly sustainable product that has absolutely no negative impact on the environment.

It is PlantWorks company philosophy to produce tuned mycorrhizal products that are specific blends of species of mycorrhizal fungi adapted to work in different conditions.

PlantWorks are the main suppliers of mycorrhizal fungi products to the UK garden centre industry and have significant experience in ensuring that the retail product range is a fast moving product. The rootgrow retail range are all UK origin species of fungi that are proven to benefit plants under UK soil conditions and climate.


Company philosophy

PlantWorks does not believe in a generic product approach. Mycorrhizal fungi have become adapted to match host plants, soil types and different environments. To offer a product to accelerate this process requires that the product be similarly tuned.

PlantWorks has one of the largest privately owned mycorrhizal fungi collections in the world. This gives the company substantial scope for product innovation. It is the company’s intention to continually refine and develop products in partnership with clients using this resource.

The appropriate application of mycorrhizal fungi requires an element of training. PlantWorks is committed to offer training and information to the market in the belief that with all the facts available, end users will choose its products over those of its competitors.

PlantWorks’ products are designed to ensure that suitably treated plants become mycorrhizal; they are not bio-fertilisers with small amounts of mycorrhizal fungi added as a marketing gimmick. The additives used in the product have been optimised for mycorrhizal fungal efficiency over many years of research for this purpose.
