The UK's leading organic growing charity, Garden Organic, urges people to make 'getting out in the garden and going organic' one of their 2008 New Year’s resolutions and is offering courses and workshops throughout the year to help.
Research continues to support evidence that getting outdoors helps relieve stress as well as keeping you active. Digging a plot, pruning the hedges or even mowing your lawn can help improve fitness, while growing your own organic fruit and vegetables helps reduce your carbon footprint and provides tasty and nutritious produce right from your own garden.
A packed calendar of courses and workshops are being organised for 2008 by Garden Organic, for beginners and experienced gardeners alike. From starting an organic allotment and organic garden design to learning to make herbal preparations, there is something for everyone.
