Coolings Garden Centre - Kent

In a rapidly expanding world that is ever more reliant on natural resources and with the threat of global warming in the forefront of everybody’s mind it makes perfect sense to encourage people to practice something that I have been doing for many a year now; growing my own fruit and vegetables. This has numerous benefits including:

Good for the planet as there are no air miles or excessive packaging in order to deliver fresh fruit and vegetables to your table, packed full of vitamins and minerals!

Recycling your green kitchen waste on your compost heap will ensure that you will have endless supplies of free compost. The lifeblood of the garden!

Overproduction will not be wasted. You can always give excess fruit and vegetables to your family and friends and not to landfill!

Working the soil by digging in well rotted compost will improve its structure and subsequently the eco system in your garden which will actively encourage more wildlife to visit your garden. It is well worth remembering that organically grown produce will be free from pesticides which in turn will benefit both you and wildlife.

Your children will eat their greens if they are actively encouraged to get involved in the production of fruit and vegetables!

Obviously saves you money in the long term.

Uptake of allotments is more popular than ever which can only be a good thing.

Rewarding and extremely beneficial to you and your family’s health and well-being.
