Robert James is the owner of Bristol Wild Gardens, a unique gardening business that specialises in rewilding and transforming people’s gardens into wildlife havens, based in Easton…
Robert came to North and East Bristol Enterprise Support (NEBES) for help with structuring his business plan and to access support and advice around marketing his business online and through social media.
“I am currently working on a big garden renovation project in Wells, which includes native hedgerow, wild fences, an inclusion of a natural wildlife pond, flowering lawn and nectar rich borders”.
“I attended the Introduction to Enterprise online course. I found the social media session very helpful in understanding and developing my social media strategy for my business”.
With the loss of habitat being a major factor in the decline of biodiversity, particularly in urban areas, the concept of rewilding is quite a progressive approach to conservation that people can incorporate, on a personal level, which can make a difference to local ecosystems.
“By combining traditional techniques with new technology, and rejecting harmful chemicals, gardening can be for everyone’s benefit – be it client or cornflower” said Robert.
