HENRY DOUBLEDAY RESEARCH ASSOCIATION
| The Henry Doubleday Research Association began in 1954 as a result of the inspiration and initiative of one man, Lawrence Hills. As an horticulturalist he had a keen interest in organic growing, but he earned his living as a freelance journalist. Whilst researching a book called Russian Comfrey, he discovered that the plant grown widely in Britain today was introduced in the nineteenth century by a Quaker named Henry Doubleday. HDRA is now Europe's largest organic membership organisation. It is dedicated to researching and promoting organic gardening, farming and food. |
