Edge of the Meadow's Eco Pledge 

Sustainability at Edge of the Meadow

Edge of the Meadow began in 2013, driven by a deep appreciation for the natural world. Since then, I've captured thousands of photographs of nature and wildlife to inspire my designs. Over time, I have witnessed changes in the environment, shifts in the variety and vitality of flora and fauna, many of which are likely linked to climate change. It is encouraging to see more businesses working towards positive change, and I'm proud to be part of that effort.

Keeping Our Footprint Light

By partnering with UK based producers, we minimise our carbon footprint. Working from home means there's no daily commute, and most orders are fulfilled on foot with a simple walk to the post office. All packaging is minimal and thoughtfully chosen—biodegradable envelopes are used for every order.

Why Digital Printing?

Digital printing is a more sustainable option than traditional methods. It uses less water and energy, and only the exact amount of ink needed, eliminating waste and pollution. This not only benefits the planet but also supports independent makers. With no need for large production runs, designers can create in small batches, helping to reduce surplus stock.

The Case for Organic Cotton

Organic cotton is a gentler choice for the planet and people. It has been grown with care, without the use of harmful chemicals, and often cultivated using crop rotation, which protects soil health and conserves water. These practices support biodiversity and improve conditions for farming communities.
