Garden Organic

Garden Organic is the country’s leading charity for promoting sustainable and organic horticulture and gardening, both here in the UK and overseas.

Founded over 50 years ago by Lawrence Hills, a dedicated visionary who was ahead of his time in promoting sustainable organic growing.  Garden Organic supports everyone and anyone with a desire to grow plants in a more sustainable way whether they be commercial growers, community groups or simply families gardening at home or in an allotment.

Garden Organic conducts research, campaigns for change and develops practical projects using organic methods to help communities grow in more ways than one.  We not only help people to grow in a way, which protects our environment but also provide positive opportunities for adults and children.

Garden Organic also manages and runs Ryton Gardens, ten acres of flagship organic demonstration gardens open to the public all year round.
