Garden Organic

Garden Organic is the UK's leading organic growing charity and has been at the forefront of the organic horticulture movement for 50 years. It is dedicated to researching and promoting organic gardening, farming and food and its professional, easy-to-use site reflects this, covering everything you could possibly need to know about organic gardening.

SPECIAL FEATURES

The homepage has a host of practical, informative links that lead you through to various parts of the site, organised into a number of categories. These include:

News & Events - this tells you what's on the gardening and farming agenda in the coming months such as (this September 2008) Preserving and Storing Your Harvest, Organic Fortnight Week and the Future of British Apples

Organic Gardening Advice & Courses - this section explains what organic gardening means, offering topical and general advice, recommending books and reference resources and providing up-to-date How to Guides and Factsheets.

Join Us/Help Us - this is where interested visitors can become members of the site, gaining access to practical and specialist advice via a quarterly magazine, Garden Organic's team of advisors as well as members' only areas and factsheets. You can also make a donation to the charity here and join campaigns, such as Adopt a Veg, which aims to help save our vegetable heritage.
