Garden Organic
Bugs, birds and beneficial plants are the central themes for Garden Organic’s display at this year’s Spring Fair.
The organic gardening charity’s head gardener Emma O’Neill has brought together a number of biodiversity-boosting elements and ideas to help gardeners cultivate a sustainable organic back garden.
Amongst the ideas on display will be a 1mx1m veg bed, providing inspiration for growing organic food on a small-scale; a hot composting system, showing how to turn all kitchen and garden waste into valuable compost; and a high-rise bug hotel, packing a wide variety of habitats into a very small space.
“We all need to start developing biodiverse, sustainable gardens that can weather climate change – and work with nature and not against it,” says Emma. “We hope our ideals show that with small steps and little cost, gardeners can make changes that will encourage more life into their growing spaces. And the more friends a garden has, the better for biodiversity and the planet.”
