Sideau - The 100% biodegradable floral foam alternative

Tue, 02 Jul 2024 22:00:40 GMT

Reaching across the seas to the Netherlands - Lara Rose & Bec have great pleasure of chatting to Sido Fokkema from Agra Wool International to discuss the 100% Biodegradable floral foam alternative Sideau. It's fascinating hearing about its conception via the agriculture industry and learning about the amazing nature of this product. Soon to be reaching Australian shores, Sideau will be available via Tesselaar this coming month. We are super excited about this product, having had fantastic trials with the demo material recently and really encourage our listeners to give it a go. We have found it to have superior water holding capacity, well beyond that of traditional foam and have been able to use each block 2- 3 times before finally adding it to our gardens to improve the soil. Tesselaar are kindly providing our listeners with a special introductory offer. As soon as it's available in store you will be able to use code: GATHER at checkout to receive a 20% discount to get you started. We hope you love it as much as we do!
