About Beorn

Jonathan (aka. ‘Beorn’) is a qualified horticulturalist, garden designer, and soil health enthusiast. His gardening career officially began in 2015, when he studied for his Level 3 Horticultural Diploma at the renowned Birmingham Botanical Gardens. Following the completion of this course, Beorn worked for three years as a horticultural co-ordinator for Mind, the mental health charity, managing a 3.5-acre organically led site complete with polytunnels, wildlife ponds, sensory gardens, and much more. It was during this time that he realised the true therapeutic power of green spaces, and this experience has been informing his approach to both gardening and design ever since.

In 2017, Beorn had the privilege of attaining his Permaculture Design Course qualification during a two-week residential program at Ragman’s Lane Farm in Gloucestershire. While there, he learned valuable lessons on how to holistically manage land and design harmonious human systems where diversity is valued, and emphasis is placed on observation, regeneration, and resiliency. It was around then that the initial spark of 'Beorn Wilde Eco Spaces' began to ignite.

For the next five years, Beorn worked as a self-employed organic gardener, honing his knowledge of plants, befriending wildlife, and building upon his practical abilities. Fast forward to the Summer of 2023 and Beorn submits the very last assignment of his Postgraduate Garden Design Diploma, finishing the course with an overall Distinction. While his love for gardening remains, his true passion lies in the design and development of wildlife-friendly spaces that place the client at the epicentre of their very own ecosystem.

Beorn's deep fascination with the natural world revolves around habitat creation, soil health, carbon sequestration, sustainability, and resiliency. Every project, whether it involves general maintenance, garden rejuvenation, or a complete redesign, is viewed through this holistic lens and is undertaken with a profound appreciation for both life and logic. His discerning eye for spatial design, coupled with an unwavering commitment to client satisfaction, ensures that each project that Beorn Wilde Eco Spaces takes on is executed to the highest standards.
