Tom Nielsen is planting designer for Biocentric Design and Harris Bugg Studio and also runs Biocentric Plants, a small nursery specialising in plants that are beautiful, resilient and with high nature value. Following a MSc in Advanced Environment and Energy Studies, Tom trained through the HBGBS programme and then worked at the University of Bristol Botanic Garden before going self employed. With years of experience in practical horticulture, Toms was increasingly asked to do garden and planting design projects and has recently joined the team at Harris Bugg on a part time basis allowing him to continue to develop Biocentric Plants Nursery and his private practice. Tom gardens on nutrient poor sandy soil on the site of a ruined farmhouse in west somerset and is constantly sowing new seeds and trialling new plants in his wild, naturalistic garden.
