Situation
Our biodiversity is in crisis. Biodiversity is in decline in all its forms, from genes & bacteria to ecosystems – from small gardens & allotments to community growing spaces, peatlands & forests. Global wildlife populations have plummeted by 69% on average since 1970, with the main drivers being human use of land & climate change. But gardening skills such as food growing & seed saving are not passed on the way they used to be - & many people don’t know where to turn for reliable advice.
Solution
Organic gardening leads to increased biodiversity. Studies show following organic gardening principles leads to increased biodiversity & local species richness. Your donations will allow more people to access our unrivalled 65-years of accessible, organic gardening expertise, giving them the know-how to cultivate seasonal, organic produce with no food miles, plastic packaging, peat or pesticides – & create a patchwork of thriving green communities embracing eco-friendly practices.
