The organic way: an introduction

organic methods allow you to create any garden you want. in times of growing concern about environmental damage and climate change, they provide practical and effective solutions for managing any planted space.
	From food to flowers Their concern was, in particular, for healthy food production, and it is in the area of food production that organic growing is most advanced. But organic methods are not just for the fruit and vegetable patch. they can be applied to all areas of the yard, from lawns to shrubs to windowsills.
The future is organicthe last decade has seen a phenomenal rise in interest in all things organic. the organic movement—for a long time an energetic, committed, active, but relatively small group of enthusiasts—has really come of age. organic food is widely available both in supermarkets and in specialty stores; many governments are supporting organic farming and research; and more and more people are turning to organic methods of gardening.
	Every time there is another food scare, or the dangers of another pesticide come to light, more people turn to eating, and growing, organically. As the effects of climate change become more obvious, and we are encouraged to reduce our “carbon footprint,” organic gardening offers practical ways in which we can do this in the garden.
