ABOUT US
South East Essex
Organic Gardeners were formed in 1994 to promote the principles of
organic gardening, which include the composting of organic waste, the
protection of wildlife, the reduction of pollution and the
encouragement of species diversity.
The group is affiliated
to Garden Organic, the working name of Henry Doubleday Research Association, the national charity for
organic growing and the Soil Association.
SEEOG holds regular
public meetings, attends two local farmers’ markets, exhibits at
shows and open days, organises outings and gives talks.
Meetings are held
bi-monthly on a Monday at St. David's Church Hall, 400 Rayleigh Road,
Eastwood in January, March, May, July, September and November. Please
see Newsletter for dates and details. Non-members can attend for a
small charge. New members are always welcome, whether or not they
have a garden or allotment.
This website is intended as a
source of information both to local gardeners, as well as to all who
practice or are interested in organics, wildlife gardening,
permaculture, compost making, biodiversity or related subjects, and
includes virtual tours of SEEOG members gardens and/or allotments.
