A quintet of GoodGymers spent a couple of hours spreading wood chip around the fire area of Naturescape garden, creating vertical log habitats, redoing the tyre planters in the pathway and setting in posts to form an archway. It was warm work but lovely to be outside on a sunny day.

Naturescape Oxford
Our vision is to support communities, businesses and schools to create beautiful spaces, with nature in mind and wellbeing at heart.

Naturescape is a designed garden for family-centred play and learning, for community or workplace wellbeing and enjoyment. It is designed with the following key ingredients: ​ Place – a sense of belonging to a community People – a community with wide reaching cultural diversity Plants – which are so important for education, survival and beauty Play – relaxation, an essential for healthy human development and wellbeing. Drawing on the philosophy of the Forest School movement and the inspiration of local people, the naturescape will be home for various groups that support outdoor play, exploration, and interaction with natural elements such as water, fire and vegetation. The focus is on developing confidence and self-esteem through creative and hands-on experiences in a natural setting
