Welly Week is a national campaign that everyone in the UK can get involved with. Forget your kitten heels, ditch your brogues, put your wellies on and join us in going Welly mad!

Welly Week is organised by Garden Organic to raise funds to help educate and inspire people about organic gardening, farming and food for a sustainable future for ourselves, our children, our environment and our planet.
During Welly Week everyone is invited to host a welly walk or wear their wellies to work and celebrate all that’s good about organics!
Find out more about Welly Week events and how to get involved.
