Donate to Garden Organic
For many vegetable varieties, the Heritage Seed Library (HSL) is the last line of defence in their conservation. We rely on your donations to keep 800 historic, heirloom and ex-commercial seed varieties from disappearing.
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
This No Mow May, let your lawn grow longer to benefit wildlife. To encourage and support biodiversity, try mowing just once a month, instead of weekly.
Your organic garden in May
May is a busy month in the garden. Winter is well past and the world feels full of energy. Don't forget the two organic principles: good soil management, and diverse planting to encourage plenty of beneficial wildlife. And keep on top of the weeds.
