Organic horticulture

Organic horticulture is all about growing plants and vegetables in a natural way, without using things that can harm the environment or our health. It is like cooking a meal from scratch using only fresh and healthy ingredients.

Just like we need good food to stay healthy, plants also need good soil, clean water, and plenty of sunshine to grow strong and healthy. But sometimes, nasty bugs and weeds can attack our plants and steal all their nutrients, making them sick and weak.

In organic horticulture, instead of using harmful chemicals like pesticides and herbicides to get rid of bugs and weeds, we use natural methods. For example, we might introduce ladybugs into the garden because they love to eat the insects that harm our plants. Or we might use compost (a type of fertiliser made from old plants and food waste) to enrich the soil and make it healthier for our plants to grow in.

Overall, organic horticulture is about working in harmony with nature to create a healthy garden full of delicious and nutritious fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
