Grow Leader – Ecology for Growers
Grow Wilder
Address:
Grow Wilder, 181 Frenchay Park Rd, Bristol, BS16 1HB
Calling all growers and gardening enthusiasts! Join Grow Wilder for a hands-on event where we explore the vital role of ecology in sustainable farming and gardening practices. Ecology is the study of the relationships between living organisms—plants, animals, humans—and their environment.
This day-long course led by Shaun Waycott, Grow Wilder Wildflower Nursery Manager, dives into key ecological concepts such as abundance, biomass, life processes, and the movement of materials and energy through living communities. We’ll also explore the essential roles of cooperation, competition, and predation in shaping ecosystems, as well as the patterns of biodiversity and its impact on ecosystem functions. Learn how to apply ecological principles to your growing practices to create healthier, more resilient ecosystems on your land.
From soil health to biodiversity, we’ll discuss practical ways you can support both the environment and your crops. Whether you’re a seasoned grower or just starting, this event will provide valuable tools for integrating ecological wisdom into your growing journey.
