Ecology of the Rewilded Garden
What is the Ecology of the Rewilded Garden Safari?
This garden safari offers a deep dive into the thriving ecosystem of a rewilded garden to learn how to identify its wildlife and habitats with one of our expert ecologists. You’ll be led through our Rewilded Walled Garden and its adjoining orchard and meadows to explore:
- garden habitats that promote biodiversity
- important species of fauna both above and below ground
- predator-prey dynamics
- complex life cycles, and
- the extensive world of pollinators beyond bees.
Who is this garden safari for?
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener wanting to increase the life in your garden or simply curious about the natural world, this safari provides a unique experience of garden ecology. It will show how outdoor spaces can be a haven for wildlife and contribute to the battle to reverse biodiversity loss in Britain.

Information
After a brief video presentation on the garden’s design and ethos over tea and coffee, Knepp’s ecologist will guide you through the Walled Garden, orchard and meadow to see the rich biodiversity they sustain, including insects, birds and mammals.
NB This is not a botanical tour, as such. If your interest is primarily in identifying and learning about the 1,000+ species of plants in our rewilded garden please book on our Planting or Managing workshops. Booking both these workshops plus this Ecology safari and the Recording Biodiversity workshop with Kate Bradbury entitles you to a £30 discount.
PLEASE NOTE: This garden safari takes place in the grounds of Knepp Castle – a different location to Knepp Wildland safaris. Please do not go to the campsite/safari car park, instead follow the directions to the Walled Garden on your pre-visit email.
10.30am-12.30pm (April-October)
£65 per person
