Thank you GreenTree for donating soil to The Commons planters. Greentree uses coconut coir instead of peat because of its superior water-holding and wettability. Coir is a sustainable resource while peat is extracted from peatlands, destroying an important carbon store and natural habitat. GreenTree soils are: Handmade in Ithaca, N.Y., created in small batches, biologically activated (its aerated composting system encourages beneficial bacteria to flourish).
