What is organic gardening? 

 

Simply put, an organic garden is one that avoids the use of pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, and any other synthetic product that doesn't come directly from nature.

​

Why choose to garden organically?

​

1. Organic gardening protects the gardener and plants from the harm of synthetic chemicals 

​

2. It gives the gardener a better understanding of nature's processes and protects existing wildlife in the area

​

3. According to the Soil Association (https://www.soilassociation.org/organic-living/whyorganic/its-nutritionally-different/), organically grown produce is higher in 21 key minerals. Additionally, Newcastle University (https://www.ncl.ac.uk/press/articles/archive/2015/10/organicvsnon-organicfood/) found that organic produce was up to 60% higher in antioxidants than conventional produce. 

​

4. It allows the grower to save money on organic produce as compared to store-bought produce.
