It is well known that tropical rain forests are disappearing. It is not so obvious that the British countryside is also suffering. It is not possible to reclaim land that has been lost to roads, or drained for agriculture. It is not possible to remove complex pesticides, such as DDT, from the food chain. It is possible, however, to create a safe place for both ourselves and wildlife in our gardens. At the same time, we contribute to the improvement of the environment.
Growing your own fruit and vegetables organically means you can produce safe, healthy food with a minimum of damage to the environment. Buying organically grown food supports growers who use environmentally safe production methods.
We are a group of about 200 enthusiastic organic gardeners. We meet 9 times
a year for talks and demonstrations on gardening. The group has been growing
steadily in its 10 years of life and we now have a comprehensive library, and
a bulk buying scheme which gives us a huge discount on seeds, organics fertilizers,
netting, Maxicrop and Enviromesh.
