John Little

John Little is known for his experimental garden in Essex and pioneering work with wildflowers and green roofs. He specialises in designing and building wildlife-friendly structures and spaces, such as bus shelters with green roofs, often integrating salvaged materials. His Essex garden serves as a living laboratory for biodiverse gardening, particularly using low-fertility substrates such as demolition waste, to show their benefits for both flora and fauna biodiversity. He collaborates with local entomologists on analysing the impact of his work. Most encouragingly he has begun to have an impact on how local government undertake habitat restoration on roadsides.
