CHHS statement on sustanable and eco-friendly gardening
One of the Society’s objectives is ‘to promote the study of horticulture, particularly in the area of Colemans Hatch, which is sympathetic to the needs of local flora and fauna’.
With this in mind, we will be exploring a range of ideas for how to do this. One of the simplest and most rewarding will be to share the best practice that is already happening. Look out for some of our case studies which we will post here over the coming year.
