Combining nature, art, and play, to encourage
exploration, discovery, learning and well-being.
CONNECTING PEOPLE TO NATURE
With every project and every site, we have the opportunity to improve the health and well-being of everyone around us. At nature+play designs, we help brainstorm, plan, design and implement projects that help everyone feel safe, welcome and able to enjoy the settings around them. This means something different for everyone, so listening to the needs of our clients is at the forefront of what we do. Lets learn together how to connect your site and community to nature.
BEHIND EVERY DESIGN, EVERY CONVERSATION......
Nature
Restoring natural systems is at the heart of every project, connecting soil, water, air, animals, plants - it is at the heart of thriving projects
Well - being
Health and peace of mind are key to every successful space, whether it means active, passive, serene or quiet, every space is vital
Connections
People, spaces, community, we all thrive when we can connect, whether it is to play, learn, wander, work, love or enjoy our time outdoors
Joy
Joy means something different to everyone, that is why spaces and landscapes need to be flexible, adaptable, beautiful and even fun
