Food for Life schools celebrated

We’re seeing in a new year in our gardening diary. This month’s instalment is full of the usual handy hints and guidance to help you get the most from your growing space. In addition, we have the first in a new series of ‘in focus’ topics - this month, the top ten easy to grow vegetables.

We have some fantastic giveaways to help kickstart a healthy new year. Win a fortnight’s worth of Fresh Functional Superfruit drinks from RDA Organic, or a jute bag filled with Rude Health mueslis and porridges. Plus, we have two sets of organic skin care products, courtesy of Butterfly Babies.

The month’s competition of the month comes from Simply Organic, specialists in organic fresh soups and ready meals. They are offering a stylish hamper to one lucky winner, packed full of delicious Soil Association certified organic products from Simply Organic, worth £50.

Plus, members of the Soil Association should check out our regional offers listing to find local retailers offering special benefits to members.
