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

We have been asked to provide some much needed help at a community garden for prison visitors at HMP Bullingdon in Bicester

The garden is NOT situated within the prison

Nature effect (who we have worked with on Kate’s Place in Florence Park) need help maintaining the garden, making it a welcoming and calm space for visitors and families.

More details of the space can be found here.

We will be mulching, weeding and generally helping to maintain the space.

All tools will be provided and there will be a couple of members of the Nature Effect team working with us too.

Please bring gardening gloves if you have them.

We will figure out travel logistics!!


How are you getting there?
