BOX 2. Garden Organic
Garden Organic is the national charity for organic growing, based at Ryton on Dunsmore, Warwickshire. It uses its demonstration sites and staff expertise to show visitors and organisations how they can be part of the sustainable development solution. The sustainable waste team are acknowledged experts in composting and run the Master Composter programme with several local authorities, including Warwickshire, to encourage people to make compost, not landfill. At the gardens people can see composting in action, they can also see the use of mulches to conserve water. Garden Organic also houses the Heritage Seed Library and its work to preserve more than 800 old varieties of vegetable seed. |
|
| It will also work through the Warwickshire Strategic Partnership to implement this Strategy using delivery mechanisms such as Local Public Service Agreements and Local Area Agreements and well-being powers under the Local Government Act 2000 to maximise its effectiveness.
The local authority partners will also use their regulatory powers, and those conferred through legislation, purchasing power and other financial resources and influence through their community leadership roles, to assist in its delivery.
The introduction of climate change as part of the local government performance framework from 2008 will also be a significant “driver” for local government partners. |
