Gardening Guru Will Tomson Shares Secrets to Resilient Landscapes

Will Tomson, an experienced gardener and ecology enthusiast, shares his top gardening tips. The former dog-sledding guide and whale-watching expert turned to gardening after teaching song writing and designing a garden. Now, he aims to create resilient landscapes for people, food, and wildlife.

Tomson's gardening advice revolves around supporting biodiversity. He suggests selecting plants that caterpillars love, incorporating neat stone walls and dead wood for habitat, and adding water bodies to attract wildlife.

Before his gardening career, Tomson studied ecology and worked in unique roles. He found his passion for gardening while teaching song writing and designing a garden. Now, he admires horticultural figures like Christopher Lloyd and Beth Chatto, who challenge conventional practices.

Tomson's next project involves building more ponds of varying sizes to create interlinked habitats and plants. He favours landscapes like ponds, scrubland, and woodland edges for their biodiversity and resilience. Collaborating with Peter Joseph Krug, he aims to improve wild garden installations.

Will Tomson, a passionate gardener with a background in ecology, encourages creating resilient gardens with longevity. With his expertise, he hopes to inspire new gardeners and design landscapes that benefit people, food, and wildlife.
