Eco Charlie gardens grow greener

The chemical gardening season is currently in full flow and I have noticed how every other ad on the TV promotes a range of horrendous potions which are supposed to keep your garden looking good.

Surely gardening is about being connected to the earth and nature? Scattering a cocktail of chemicals around the garden seems so unacceptable to me . What do you think?

Being greener in the garden is easy with such a range of excellent eco products on the market. There is also tons of information and advice available on the net to explain the benefits of green gardening:

My favourite green gardening site has just been re-launched today. Set up by a young gardening entrepreneur called Callum Davis, its aim is “To manufacture products which are natural, ethical, recyled, ec0-friendly, sustainaable or support a good cause”. The business has evolved over the past two years from Callum’s original idea of producing a natural repellent for slugs/ snails using ground coffee dregs and recycled ground ceramics that are made into tiny shards too sharp for slugs/snails to tolerate.

Great to see young gardening entrepreneurs like Callum promoting eco- gardening with building a succesful business. Visit his excellent site for tips and inspiration about green gardening and to buy a range of excellent products that will make both you and your garden feel better. http://www.ecocharlie.co.uk/green-gardening

I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and who is keen to "manage" the effects of shifting weather patterns on my garden. Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces. My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable. The future of our gardens and #OurPlanet is in our hands - please plant your own seeds for our collective sustainable future.
