Our organisation promotes the know how and benefits of organic gardening to individual and community gardeners. Showing people how they can encourage ecosystems to flourish in their own growing space has never been more important to stem the decline of plant and insect species and aid nature's recovery. 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 15 - Life on Land.
We are a membership organisation, attracting individuals who want to find out how best to garden in harmony with nature. We work with private, public and voluntary sector organisations to promote organic growing. We have a good profile and reputation for our research, much of which is conducted as citizen science projects via our membership. We are the home of the Heritage Seed Library - a living collection of vegetable seeds which would otherwise have gone extinct.
