Description:Our organic gardens: Garden Organic Ryton is an internationally famous tourist attraction as well as being the site of our headquarters. Ten acres of display gardens are managed entirely organically and all aspects of domestic horticulture are on show, including composting, pest and disease control, fruit and vegetable production, herbs, roses, lawns, shrubberies and herbaceous plantings. A large conservation area includes native trees, a wildflower meadow and lake, and wildflowers are also much in evidence as part of the landscaping and in a backgarden setting in our RSPB Wildlife Garden. Other interesting features include the Paradise Garden (a memorial to Geoff Hamilton), a bee garden, living willow structures and, newly opened in 2003, The Vegetable Kingdom visitor's centre. Audley End Organic Kitchen Garden Garden Organic manages this site in association with the owners English Heritage. The large walled Organic Kitchen Garden is located within the considerable grounds of what remains of the original Audley End estate and still supplies the house with produce. Restored to how it might have looked in the last half of the 19th century, it is one of very few working restorations of walled gardens in the UK. The original walls are largely still intact and date from the mid 18th century.
