Q&A with Marian Boswall, author of Sustainable Garden

Recently, we had the pleasure of reading Sustainable Garden: Projects, insights and advice for the eco-conscious gardener by Marian Boswall, which offers helpful tips, guidance and step-by-step projects designed to help build a low-impact, considerate outdoor space.

Marian is a leading landscape architect, horticulturalist and the co-founder of the Sustainable Landscape Foundation. She was a lecturer in Historic Garden Conservation at Greenwich University for several years, and she writes and lectures on sustainable design and was awarded Garden Columnist of the Year in 2019.

Meet Our Verm-X Ambassadors Ru & Flo

Meet Our Verm-X Ambassadors Ru & Flo

Ru and Flo are family pets and working organic farm dogs who live in the English countryside. They both love the outdoors, whether it’s playing in the bracken, swimming in local rivers, or frolicking in bluebell woods.

Natural prevention is hugely important to them in regards to respect for the environment and we've been honoured to have them as part of the Verm-X family for over a year now.

Fighting Against Anthelmintic Resistance

Fighting Against Anthelmintic Resistance

For the past 20 years, Verm-X have been working to combat the growing problem of anthelmintic resistance. ‘Anthelmintic resistance’ or ‘wormer resistance,’ as it is more commonly known, refers to parasites that have evolved to be no longer affected by our traditional, pharmaceutical wormers. Can you help us understand the impact we're having on wormer use?
