About Nick Wrenn: Nick Wrenn has always been connected to trees, from playing in the woods as a child to working as a landscaper near Philadelphia. After studying Civil Engineering and working in construction management, he shifted his focus to plants in 2020. Inspired by Dr. Elaine Ingham, he completed the Soil Food Web School foundations courses in 2021 and delved into permaculture, regenerative agriculture, and agroforestry. Over the past four years, Nick has held various roles on small-scale farms, co-run seed swaps, and established a tree nursery and food forest on his grandparents’ farm in Cedar Grove, NC, where he grows thousands of mostly native, food-producing trees. In 2024, he expanded to a second site in Bassett, VA, while continuing to explore sustainable tree-growing techniques.
