Organic Gardening Magazine is the leading monthly publication in its field and continues the legacy of J.I. Rodales original relationship between the declining American soil and healthy American people.

Prevention of human illness starts with a basically healthy diet, using healthier soil, natural techniques and generally learning to steward the land rather than devastate it, as is so often done in traditional agriculture.

But J.I. Rodale knew this as early as 1930 and spent his life dedicated to changing that spectrum of limited human action through the simple, yet straight forward examples that we are given by gardening naturally.

Organic Gardening Magazine has been delving in the most environmentally friendly solutions available to agriculture since its first issue.

J.I. Rodale began putting them to experimental testing as early as the original title Organic Farming and Gardening magazine first set its roots into the American market in 1942 along with what is today Working Tree Center, a place of putting action where before there were only words.

As the most widely read gardening publication in the world, Organic Gardening Magazine provides sources, tools, ideas and the needed information for its readers to successfully grow anything at all without the use of chemicals, effectively becoming stewards of the earth for a more sustainable way of life on earth.
