SE Essex Organic Gardeners are running their second series of organic gardening seminars in 2010, which are being led by one of our members, Robert Wiseman.

People in our community are at different levels of understanding the need for change, and engagement with the change, so conversations, films and seminars play a big role to get them thinking. This way, even if they are not doing anything now when the real food crunch comes in - as a result of climate change and peak everything - they will at least know about organic growing and alternative ways to do things.

In Cuba, organic didn't catch immediately after the collapse of imports from the Soviets and the US embargo. It took their organic farmers and researchers years to spread the word, despite it being the obvious solution to their problems.

DATE AND TIME
Saturday 20 February, 9.30am

DETAILS OF EVENT
Our seminar is designed to encourage the “growing of your own food” both on an allotment, in your own garden and even on the patio using the principles of organic gardening. With more young people becoming interested in growing their own fruit and vegetables it is important that they are successful in their efforts, helping to build a new generation of gardeners.
