Seven Goodgymers helped with various jobs around Kate's Place in Florence Park. We moved some wood to make a "dead hedge" habitat, lifted some turf to plant some seeds, and weeded around trees. The main task however was transporting many many watering cans (and even a flexi trug bucket) full of water from the tap at Flo's cafe over to the trees and hedges that needed it after the dry spell we have had. Of course, at the end of our session it began to rain!

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
