The Great British Wildlife Experiment™
Two matched plants. One treatment. One control. Compare plant performance, flowering and visible wildlife activity over time.

What if restoring nature starts beneath our feet?
The Great British Wildlife Experiment™
1,000 gardens. 2 matched plants. 1 national experiment. Can changing the living biology around a plant change its health, flowering and the wildlife it supports?

The national experiment
Don't just watch nature. Help us test how to bring it back.
BioCharge Britain links public participation with structured horticultural trials and independent research. The aim is to find out what happens — not to predetermine the answer.
02 / NURSERIES
Peat-free nursery trials
Keep the existing growing medium. Test one added biological intervention across a structured 120-plant comparison.
See the nursery trial →03 / RESEARCH
Independent investigation
Build a defensible evidence chain through controlled work, transparent results and deeper biological analysis.
Explore the evidence framework →The scientific idea
Change one thing. Measure what happens.
The programme asks whether adding a living biological treatment can change measurable outcomes without replacing the growing system already in use.
Open outcomes. Protected know-how.
We can publish questions, trial methods and results without disclosing the proprietary manufacturing recipe or process.

Simple enough to join
Designed for real gardens — structured enough to learn from.
Participants record a baseline, follow the same core protocol, compare matched plants and contribute observations to a growing national dataset.
How the garden experiment worksNew family growing route
No garden? Start with a Gro Box.
BioCharge Britain and Gro Box are developing a child-friendly way to grow vegetables, learn where food comes from and take part in a simple harvest-and-taste experiment.
GROW IT. PICK IT. TASTE IT. VOTE!
Children can compare vegetables they grow themselves with a comparable shop-bought sample and record what they actually prefer.

The bigger ambition
One garden can feed a bee. One million can change the landscape.
The first 1,000 gardens are a pilot. The long-term ambition is a national network that combines restoration action, comparable observations and public understanding of living soil.
