As many readers of this website will be aware; the Organic Gardens site is owned by the Congelow Organic Educational Charitable Trust (the ‘Congelow Trust’).
The Congelow Trust was set-up in 1991, by local farmer (the late) Donald Cooper and his wife Marie (‘Pixie’), with its stated object being “to advance the education of the general public in the principles of organic farming growing and gardening in particular by carrying out or assisting in carrying out research into agriculture and land estate management in relation to organic farming and publishing the useful results of such research”. That same object is repeated in the Congelow Trust’s Annual Reports, where they also state that they continue to “…participate in the development of the Yalding Organic Garden, whilst exploring other opportunities for providing support to the organisations involved in the advancement of Organic Farming, growing and gardening…”
