Who we are and what we do
Our charity brings together thousands of people who share a common belief – that organic growing is essential for a healthy and sustainable world. Through campaigning, advice, community work and research, our aim is to get everyone growing ‘the organic way’.
Your Garden This Month
For successful organic growing it's essential to plan what you want to grow and where - and rotate this each year to keep your plot healthy. Planting different vegetable plants in different parts of your garden or plot each year is called 'crop rotation'.
