Detailed description:
What we do --- Research, farming & growing --- Garden Organic's scientific research aims to develop and improve the techniques used in organic agriculture and to advance the knowledge of organic production systems, focusing on commercial organic horticulture in temperate areas and on sustainable agriculture in developing countries. International development --- The International Development programme promotes and facilitates organic and ecological agriculture in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Our goal is to contribute to the wider understanding and practice of sustainable agriculture as a means to improving food security and environmental resilience. Working with schools --- Garden Organic is committed to getting people growing and there is no better place to start than getting our children involved. Below are just some of the resources available through our Education Programme.
Home composting --- Making and using compost is the cornerstone of organic gardening - if you want to 'Grow Your Own', there's no better place to start. Heritage Seed Library --- Through our Heritage Seed Library we work to safeguard rare vegetable varieties, that were once the mainstay of British gardens. Master Gardener Programme --- Volunteer Master Gardeners offer food growing advice to local people and communities. Volunteers are fully trained and supported by Garden Organic, the UK's leading organic growing charity.
This three-year pilot programme is funded by the Big Lottery Fund's Local Food scheme, Sheepdrove Trust and local authorities in four areas: Warwickshire, Islington, South London and Norfolk. We aim to develop and sustain these programme areas and more nationally to follow the success of Garden Organic's Master Composter network.
