LEARNING FROM NATURE If you're new to our channel, Hi, I'm Dr. Wendy Seabrook, the founder and project manager of https://www.learningfromnature.com.au. @LearningfromNature is a social enterprise. We help gardeners and farmers grow nutritious food by relying on Nature's free ecological services instead of expensive fertilisers, pest controls, and other inputs. This creates resilient growing conditions that are better able to battle floods, drought, and other extreme weather. Wendy is a PhD ecologist with a Diploma in Permaculture. She teaches highly specialised eco-logical approaches to growing food, supporting farmers and food gardeners internationally over the last thirty years. Her journey isn't confined to theory and scientific papers; it involves getting her hands dirty and gaining practical skills. Through these experiences, she realised that many established organic and regenerative practices could be greatly improved and shows us how, in the Handbooks.
