Habitat Aid has a unique social business model, which benefits the environment, charities, and small specialist nurseries and other suppliers. We hope to persuade and enable folk to at least partly recreate or help replace key habitats like meadows, wetlands, orchards and woodland.We are partly an online retailer selling mostly trees, plants and seeds sourced from suppliers who often have a limited or no e-commerce operation themselves. Half our profits from sales go to partner charities, which are linked to specific products. This doesn't just help them financially, but also helps get key messages across.We also act as an honest broker. We have a network of consultants in areas like garden design, green roofs, swimming ponds, and meadow and wetland projects. We recommend and introduce these folk to clients and landscape professionals, to advise, design, or project manage. We then supply the plants for these schemes. We also host specialist courses aimed at designers and landscapers, encouraging them to incorporate features like meadows and wildlife ponds in their designs.As an adjunct to our main site we run a microsite on meadows as well as a lively blog.
