Natural Gardening Principles is founded upon a vision of green cities in a world where every garden is thriving and healthy. A space where plants emit a positive electromagnetic field that resonates with happiness, a place where people can relax, revive, revitalise.
A major obstacle to new gardeners, such as first time home owners, is that they have little understanding of how the natural world works. As a result, plants wither and die and people give up.
According to Natural Gardening Principles, this is easily rectifiable through education and the use of some key products.
Firstly, there are some simple questions, based on the four elements of Earth, Fire, Water and Air, that one should ask oneself when it comes to plants: What is the quality of soil they are planted in? How much organic content does that soil have? Are they getting too much or too little sun? Are they being watered correctly? Is the water of good quality? What is the air like? Is it very smoggy perhaps? Humid? Dry?
"Because we create gardens that are small microcosm's in a sometimes unnatural environment, we do sometimes need to intervene," says Sarchen Bassingthwaighte, the green fingers behind Natural Gardening Principles.
After 10 years of trying pretty much everything on the market Sarchen has finally found four products which she is willing to, in fact is even excited about, putting her name and her expertise behind. These products are the basis upon which Natural Gardening Principles operates. Each one is focused on supporting the plants, and the soil that they grow in, to achieve and maintain balance.
"You have to get it right from the start with a basic understanding of the natural sciences and the use of the right product at the right time for the right plant", says Sarchen who is confident that anyone can garden, almost anywhere.
Sarchen is committed to sharing her knowledge to contribute to the health of our planet by encouraging healthy gardening. She believes that with a comprehensive advice system such as the one she has started through the Natural Gardening Principles video clips, coupled with the Natural Gardening Principles products, that a more in tune and in touch generation will flourish.
