Gardening for Biodiversity: Practical Ways to Be Nature-Kind – A Talk and Guided Walk with Phillip Young
Phillip Young is a Horticultural Manager at the Eden Project, stewarding 200 acres of mixed habitats across Eden’s estate – where ornamental horticulture is thoughtfully balanced with an ecological approach and sensitivity to place.
With over two decades of experience, much of it spent in botanic gardens and arboreta, he blends deep professional expertise with a lifelong passion for the natural world. His work reflects a nuanced understanding of habitats and ecological systems, underpinned by a particular interest in arboriculture.
This is your chance to join Phillip for an engaging and practical session, exploring how horticulturists and gardeners can use their existing skills to create richer, more biodiverse landscapes. This talk will demonstrate how small, informed changes in planting, maintenance and design can have a significant impact on wildlife.
Phillip will explore how to move beyond purely ornamental gardening and instead, work with natural processes – supporting pollinators, improving habitat structure and increasing ecological value without sacrificing visual appeal.
This session will be followed by a guided walk, where these principles will be brought to life on site, highlighting practical opportunities to enhance biodiversity through real-world examples.
Whether you manage a landscape professionally or garden at home, this event will provide clear, achievable steps towards more nature-friendly gardening.
Tickets: £15 (including garden entry); £5 for season ticket holders.
