With a passion for the beauty of nature and its benefits, Nick set up the Classic Pod Company, to provide handmade pods that would allow users to enjoy the outdoors and get back to nature. With the success of the Classic Pod Company Nick has now rebranded the company to Wild Hart in order to reflect the growth of the business, and the inclusion of gardens and green spaces to their services. Today, Wild Hart specialises in producing everything from playgrounds to play spaces, bespoke furniture, specialist gardens and their outstanding pods of course.
A long term support of the Glamping Show, Nick Seller comments: “Children thrive in the natural world, we all do; that’s why Wild Hart is all about nature, escaping to a country cabin, exploring wild places, learning through natural play, or having beautiful wooden furniture at home. Wild Hart designs are hand made with passion.”
One of Wild Hart’s recent projects was to produce a small well insulated cabin manufactured with timber from a local sawmill, used as accommodation for seasonal workers for a smallholding called Wagtail Farm. This has allowed the smallholding to accept workers, in particular family groups, for several months of the year to help with farm duties.
With beautiful features, waney edge cedar cladding and a tin roof to echo the rain, it has space for a double bed and a single bunk, a seating area around a small stove, and a covered veranda with bespoke sink. The timbers used are naturally durable and sustainably sourced, and don’t require any treatment. This was important for a smallholding with an organic stance.
The Wild Hart team worked closely with Wagtail Farm to design and develop the cabin to their vision. This cabin was built as a project with WWOOFers as a learning opportunity. Many tasks were experienced by a number of workers staying at the farm over three months. Their interaction and enthusiasm enabled them to learn new skills. Each worker also added their own creativity to the project by making decorative mushrooms from timber off-cuts. The accommodation was very well received by the owners of Wagtail Farm and they have since referred Wild Hart to a number of their colleagues and friends.
Visit the Wild Hart team at this year’s Show and let them bring your vision to life.
