Why organic gardening matters

Gardening and growing offers great benefits for us all – benefits for the
environment, for people’s health and wellbeing, for food security and for
building stronger communities. Our outdoor growing space, be it the private
garden, community garden, allotment, school garden, or just a small space
nearby, is a place where we relax and recharge both spiritually and
physically. It is also a place where we can learn and reconnect with nature
and the food we eat and where we can take practical action to adopt
sustainable lifestyles.

Using the organic approach to gardening and growing, which Garden Organic has
been promoting for over 50 years, will ensure that these benefits can be
achieved and enjoyed to their full potential.
