Simply put, organic gardeners don't use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.  But gardening organically is much more than what you don't do.  Organic gardeners think about their gardens as part of the complete system of Nature.

Healthy soil, alive with micro-organisms, produces healthy plants. Composting organic material from our lawns, gardens & kitchens helps to build the soil while keeping these items out of landfills. Plant choices and placement reduce the need for supplemental irrigation. Natural fertilizers and pesticides don’t threaten the storm water system. Correct watering habits not only conserve a precious resource, but produce stronger root systems. Beneficial insects and other wildlife keep pests in check. Bio-diversity not only makes the garden healthier, it makes it more beautiful.

Organic gardeners strive to work in harmony with Nature to continually replenish any resource their garden consumes.
