You can rely on Johnson's Lawn Seed to have the best range available, but you can't rely on the weather. In fact our weather is becoming more unpredictable every day. Winters are becoming warmer and wetter, with fewer frosts. We had a scorching spring with a long period of drought, followed by deluges of rainfall. Whatever the weather, Johnson's has a mixture suitable, and this year is no exception with the new mix launched at GLEE 2007.

Not only is the weather a popular topic of conversation.  Green issues, whether of climate change, carbon emissions, healthier living or environmental considerations, are becoming increasingly relevant to consumers.

However we need to use these green issues to our advantage. "Adapting to, and mitigating climate change is not just an environmental concern, but one of the greatest economic opportunities of this century," explains Miranda Harris, Marketing Manager for Johnson's Lawn Seed.

Lawns, in particular, offer good news for the environment. "A natural green carpet made from the finest, healthy grass can aid in the reduction of carbon dioxide missions, reduce energy consumption and thus contribute to efforts minimising global warming trends," concludes Harris. "We have a duty to educate consumers and help change behaviour.  Fortunately with the huge investment we are making in Research and Development within our global organisation, we will have the necessary products available in our garden care range to demonstrate our environmental integrity and offer consumers a healthy alternative."
