For immediate release: 13 April 2005


  Plant Health Care wins contract to restore former coal mine sites to forested
                                land in Wyoming


Plant Health Care plc ('PHC' or the 'Company'), the leading supplier of natural
products for plants and soil, has been awarded a Professional Services Contract
for a three-year abandoned mine land reclamation project in the State of
Wyoming. The contract has a minimum value of $510,000 but it is expected that
the total revenues could be significantly greater over the 3 year period. Over
200 abandoned coal mine sites will be reclaimed to create farm land, parks and
other green spaces.


PHC Reclamation, Inc. ('PHC-REC'), the Company's wholly owned reclamation
subsidiary, has been contracted by the Department of Environmental Quality/
Abandoned Mine Land Division ('AML') to provide professional engineering and
design services for a number of abandoned coal mine sites which pose hazards to
public health and safety, or constitute an environmental hazard. The primary
areas of concern consist of abandoned coal mines located in the Sheridan,
Johnson, Campbell, Weston and Crook Counties of Northeast Wyoming.


PHC-REC has a well-known reputation as one of the foremost land reclamation
companies in the United States and for excellence in engineering, design, and
construction management, and was the 2004 recipient of the coveted People's
Choice Award for best national reclamation project presented by the United
States Department of the Interior, Office of Surface Mining. Since 1997 PHC-REC
has successfully restored over 10,000 acres of abandoned land including 26 sites
in the State of Wyoming.


Turnover for PHC-REC for the year ended 31 December 2004 was in line with
forecasts. Revenue from this contract will commence during 2005 and is expected
to continue for the following 3 years.


CEO of PHC, John Brady added: 'We are proud of the work we have done in Wyoming,
Utah and Montana over the past seven years and we are confident that this
project will be as successful as those before it. The Reclamation business is
one of our main sectors and we will continue to look for opportunities in other
areas of the United States and also in Europe. The market for land reclamation
is worth billions of dollars in the US alone and PHC is well positioned to
capture an increasing market share.'
