The charity:

Our organisation promotes the know-how and benefits of organic gardening to individual and community gardeners.

Our work is set in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and we want to ensure Garden Organic is having demonstrable and measurable positive impact, in particular on SDG 1- Life on Land.


Why it's a great time to be joining Garden Organic:
Our charity was founded over 60 years ago, when organic growing was an 'alternative' way of life.

Today, there is huge interest in how gardeners, consumers and businesses can follow sustainable practices, to do their bit to protect the environment and the biodiversity on their doorstep.

With our unrivalled expertise, gained through decades of hands-on organic growing, we are in the best possible position to support people to follow the organic way.
