A relaxed, wildlife-friendly space encourages curiosity, creativity and reflection, blending vibrant planting with a freer, spontaneous feel to celebrate joy, discovery and a deeper connection with the natural world. Once upon a time there was a place that 'Childhood Rediscovered'. It was full of nature's little woners. People from all different backgrounds, children & grown-ups alike, reconnected with the wonder, curiosity & joy in the world. It was full of the last of the summers, vibrant colours, curiosity & playful discovery. In this garden a story was told & memories were crafted. Young & old could find their inner child. Embracing a wider, feral and spontaneous sense of being. A space may seem neglected but provides a home for creatures, beeds & flowers. Pausing for a moment's breath, allows us to rediscover time for playing, making, building, scribbling, feeling, listening and caring for nature. Rediscovering childhood allows all of us to live in a better, more beautiful & sustainable way with nature through gardening & caring for the earth. The End.
