Forthcoming events by Garden Organic local groups

William Tyler presents Dig for Victory. It was all hands to the spade and fork as Britain faced a war on The Home Front in 1940 to provide as much of its own food as possible.

William will take a look at who grew the food, where they grew it and what they grew. The message for us today is a clear one - Get Digging!

Non-members £2.00 - everybody is welcome!

A series of seminars by Robert Wiseman in conjunction with South East Essex Organic Gardeners

The soil: composts and manures, a DIY approach
Getting started: how to grow, crop rotation
Weed control: managing the plot
Pest control: companion planting and organic control
Using your space: crops to grow in a small space, what to grow, easy vegetables

Practical demonstration on four easy vegetables to grow on the patio, which will vary depending on season.

To encourage the “growing of your own food” both on an allotment, in your own garden and even on the patio using the principles of organic gardening. With more young people becoming interested in growing their own fruit and vegetables it is important that they are successful in their efforts, thus helping to build a new generation of gardeners.
