Sustainability first, our environmental philosophy

December 17, 2022 hilary dahl

Sustainability first, our environmental philosophy

The combination of the holiday shopping season and the global climate talks makes this a great opportunity to be intentional and make decisions we can feel good about. As a business, we’re committed to providing garden services and products that are good for people and for the planet. 

This philosophy has never been more important than over the past year as we designed and developed our new Freyr trellis. Creating any product has inherent environmental consequences. Knowing this, our goal has been to provide a product that is the best option available: aesthetically, functionally, and environmentally. To make sure our trellis is a sustainable product, we focused on a few key ideas:

  • Durability: Instead of making a short-lived product that needs to be replaced every few seasons, we wanted to make a product that could last for decades. The goal is that the Freyr trellises you buy are the last trellises you ever need. 

  • Compostability: The twines and trellis clips that accessorize our trellis are all compostable. We hate to see plant debris tossed into the landfill just because it’s intertwined with the plastic and nylon trellising materials often available at garden stores. 

  • Recyclability: Our trellises are made from powder-coated aluminum and, should you ever decide you’re finished gardening (and don’t want to pass along the trellis to another grower), it can be recycled. 

  • Carbon-neutrality: We’re still working on mitigating our carbon footprint for the product. It’s been tricky to fully know our impact while the product is so new. Our plan is to offset all carbon associated with the manufacturing and distribution of your trellis, and ideally more, so that we can proudly sell a carbon-negative product. One that offsets more carbon that it produces. We’ll keep you posted as we solve this problem in its entirety, but please know that we are in the process of figuring this out. 


    We love you!
    Hilary and Colin
