Selecting plants native to your region or bred specifically for your climate helps create a healthy, low maintenance organic garden, which is especially important if you're new to organic gardening. All of the Bonnie Organics varieties you'll find at your local garden shop or home improvement store have been chosen because they grow well in your area. (They're also certified as USDA Organic.) For example, you may see short-season tomatoes perfect for colder northern climates, or tomatoes that withstand high temperatures and humidity for southern regions. Don't dismiss disease-resistant hybrid plants, either, as they can also create less work and greater harvests in the garden. Plus, plant a variety of flowers and flowering herbs to attract pollinators and other beneficial insects that will help keep pests away and your plants happy. (Find out where to buy Bonnie Organics in your area.)

Culinary herbs are a favorite of many gardeners. They are easy to grow as they require little care, have few insect and disease problems, and generally prefer moderate fertility levels. In addition, they add fragrance and beauty to the garden. Many herbs such as lavender, sage, and purple basil are very ornamental and combine nicely in flower or vegetable gardens.
The 30-acre UCSC Farm and 3-acre Alan Chadwick Garden produce an abundance of organically grown produce, herbs and flowers.

Our Farmstand is open to all and features organic vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers grown at the UCSC Farm and Chadwick Garden. Find the Farmstand at the Cowell Ranch Hay Barn near the base of campus every Wednesday from 12pm to 5pm and Friday from 11am to 3pm, starting in June and continuing through November, 2022.

But where should you start and how easy is it make the switch to organic gardening? We've put together an expert guide to answer your queries. So whether you're a beginner who is keen to find out about organic garden design ideas or an experienced gardener interested in switching to more organic gardening methods, our guide has plenty to inspire.
Organic gardening means, quite simply, growing plants without the use of synthetic chemicals. By working with nature rather than trying to bend it to your will by spraying to kill things off and by feeding artificially to encourage growth and flowering, the garden starts to protect itself and plants begin to thrive with minimal intervention. Every aspect of a garden can be managed organically: flowers, trees, shrubs and lawns as well as vegetables, fruit and herbs, containers and window boxes, and you can do it wherever in the world you live and whatever sort of outdoor space you have.
Our comprehensive crop guides take you crop-by-crop through common vegetables and fruits for backyard gardeners. Each guide explains how to plant, when to plant, best harvest practices, how to save seeds, and how to deal with common pests and diseases naturally, setting you on your way to growing organic vegetables and fruits in your home garden successfully.
One of the last veggies to be harvested in early winter, Brussels sprouts bring the gardening year to a delicious close.

Growing kohlrabi quickly becomes habit-forming among organic gardeners, because this crunchy treat is so good to eat. Fast-maturing kohlrabi plants can be grown in spring and in fall, while the weather is cool. Storage varieties take longer to grow, but produce excellent crops. This guide includes recommended kohlrabi varieties and tips for growing, harvesting, storing and more.
Any gardener can be successful growing parsnips, a delicious root crop that tastes best when harvested in early winter, after the soil has turned cold. Get organic growing tips plus recommendations for parsnip varieties.
Based on Gardenary's introductory gardening online course, Herb Garden Guide, this comprehensive guidebook will lead you through the step by step so that you know exactly how to grow all the culinary herbs you love right in your very own space.

Monty Don offers straightforward gardening advice in this book, revealing the secrets of growing vegetables, fruits, flowers, and herbs, while respecting the needs of the environment by gardening organically.

Charles Dowding, innovator of no dig, teaches you everything you need to know about this method of organic gardening.

Many organic gardeners are turning to biological controls that contain microscopic nematodes. These infect slugs with bacteria and then kill them. Water onto the soil in the evenings when the soil is warm (it needs to be at least 5C) and moist, from spring onwards. It is effective for around six weeks, so several applications are needed throughout the growing season. It is impractical to treat your whole garden this way, so prioritise key areas such as the veg patch or a raised bed.

Food safety: In an organic garden, all vegetables, fruits, and herbs are safe to eat. How wonderful it is to walk in your garden and just pick and eat a ripe tomato or strawberry, knowing that it has grown in healthy soil and has not been sprayed or dusted with toxic products.
