In this exclusive video masterclass recorded with Josh Sparkes at Birch Farm in Devon, learn about his innovative, nature-led approach. Josh will be explaining how to grow food in balance with biodiversity, in our ever-changing climate, by creating resilient growing systems.

How can we support and help our ever-dwindling wildlife while still being able to grow food and flowers, without the need for barriers and deterrents and with minimal inputs? Take a tour of Birch Farm with Josh to see all his experiments and learn about his pioneering ideas - a mix of old-school agroforestry and natural farming knowledge and his own trial and error.

Discover the biodiversity and bounty of layered food forests filled with nuts, fruit and berries, and how Josh uses polycultures in the veg patch to grow beautiful, healthy food crops, all together with weeds. Find out about how he 'farms' beetles for slug control, and manages other typical garden 'pests' without chemicals or netting. Watch how he grows plants to chop and drop where they are for mulch, and creates and maintains soil fertility without outside inputs like compost - even making his own home made potting mix with some help from worms.

Learn about some interesting perennial vegetables you may already be growing in your garden without realising it, and access extra materials on efficient growing methods in agroforestry, syncotropic growing and making inoculants, fermentations and tinctures for the garden.
