Organic gardening is a form of gardening that uses substantial diversity in pest control to reduce the use of pesticide and tries to provide as much fertility with local sources of nutrient rather than purchased fertilizer. The term may have ironically arisen as a response to the effects observed in farming during the first half of the twentieth century and the evolving science of organic chemistry. It is said by some of its supporters to be more in harmony with nature. Organic gardeners emphasise the concept that "the soil feeds the plant".

  • Organic gardening is what all horiculture and argiculture was before the advent of the Industrial Revolution and the resultant availability of chemical additives such as fertilisers and pesticides, most of which were introduced in the 20th Century. It is one of the fastest growing gardening movements, and more and more people are discovering that it is possible to enjoy a beautiful, thriving garden without the use of chemicals such as artificial fertilisers and pesticides.
