There Are No Pests. How We Grow Food Alongside Wildlife.

There are no pests — only relationships we don’t yet understand. In this video, I share how growing a biodiverse garden reduces damage naturally and reshapes how we see foraging animals. Hello and welcome to Willows Green Permaculture 🌱 Instead of trying to eliminate “pests,” we take a different approach: we design for biodiversity. Over the years, we’ve learned that a healthy ecosystem doesn’t remove challenges — it transforms them. I’ll walk you through the practical strategies we use to protect our harvests while still welcoming life: • Designing gardens that work with wildlife • Using biodiversity as nature’s own pest control • Creating habitat for the species that help us • Rethinking fences, boundaries, and balance • Why sharing some of the harvest can make the whole system stronger When we stop fighting nature and start listening to it, something remarkable happens: healthier food, greater resilience, and a deeper sense of belonging within the living world. Thank you for being here — and as always, I read and respond to all of your comments. 🌱 🌱 Seed Catalogue If you’d like to grow many of the varieties you see in our garden, you can explore our seed catalogue.
