These photos are from our early Nature Play sessions back in 2021 and 2022, and honestly… it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come.
As a small not‑for‑profit, we began with just a few simple resources and a whole lot of heart. Over time — through fundraising, grants, and the kindness of donations — we slowly grew into the community we are today.
Our nature journey started in a cosy little garden at the Elton Centre. About a year later, we moved into the beautiful space at Hawbush Gardens — first the picnic area, then the meadow — and eventually added our little allotment too. 🥰
I’ve always loved nature, but I didn’t always make time for it. During 2020, everything shifted. Our group found ourselves walking more, spending time in parks and nature reserves, noticing the seasons, and letting the outdoors steady us. That’s when our walking groups and Nature Play sessions truly began to take shape. Slowing down brought us so much peace.
If I had to describe our Nature Group today, I would say:
💜 It’s not a class I run it as a mom/ peer and often look like a hot mess after battling to get my boys out the house.🤣
💜I’s a friendly, pressure‑free space to connect with our children and with each other within nature.
💜 It’s a safe, welcoming environment, we love welcoming new group members and always aim to make our groups inclusive.
💜Its a save place where our children can learn and explore at their own pace. We have an allotment, creative activities, baby area and a large space for the children to run.
💜 It’s perfectly ok to arrive late as a mom I understand how leaving the house can at times be challenging.
💜 It's ok to have open conversations around mental health, physical health, share how your morning or week was tough, or to celebrate your wins.
At the heart of everything we do is peer support, mental wellness, community, friendship, memory‑making, and finding small moments of happiness in simple things.
If that sounds like your vibe, you’re so welcome to join us this upcoming week.

I’m truly grateful for this community — for inspiring me, supporting me, and helping this little dream grow. Without you, there wouldn’t be Mom’s Mindful Hub. 💜
