Our Work

We believe that the best option to protect our food supplies, environment, health and wellbeing is to use organic growing methods. These harness the natural cycles and processes that promote plant growth.

Our education programmes help teachers and school professionals to develop gardening projects that teach children where their food comes from, develop their scientific and environmental awareness and encourage them to eat more fruit and vegetables.

Since 1958, Garden Organic has worked to protect the rich, interdependent, diverse life that makes up our gardens and growing spaces.

Ryton Organic Gardens is the perfect destination for anyone interested in seeing the principles and practices of organic gardening. Our inspirational demonstration gardens, based five miles from Coventry, provide the perfect chance for visitors to learn more about all aspects of organic growing.

Our Heritage Seed Library, works tirelessly to conserve the UK's vegetable heritage, protecting our rich organic diversity for future generations. We undertake targeted activities to encourage seed conservation.

Gardening and growing is good for us all. It is good for our physical and mental health, for reducing stress and helping to tackle challenging behaviour. It can also help to build confidence and develop a range of employability skills.

Garden Organic conducts research in partnership with Coventry University's Centre for Agroecology Water and Resiliance (CAWR), both for the amateur and professional.
