Growing Media

With the acquisition of Conrad Fafard, Inc. (Fafard), a leading North American producer of packaged growing media to professional ornamental growers and the consumer retail market, Syngenta became the first full range supplier to professional growers.

Since 1926, Fafard has built a reputation for producing premium mixes that meet the highest professional standards. Using only weed- and pathogen-free materials, all soils undergo testing before and after production to ensure a consistent formulation and texture. The products are formulated to maintain the proper balance of water, air, and pH.

Fafard is committed to sustainable peat harvesting and bog restoration. An active member in good standing with the Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss Association (CSPMA), Fafard has been recognized for our efforts in returning harvested bogs to wetlands to preserve an area's ecological balance.
