Home
More than ever before our yards and outdoor spaces need to support the play, learning, and therapeutic needs of our children. Let’s transform your yard into a nature playscape, an outdoor classroom, and place of therapeutic value.
Bring nature play home.
Your kids will thank you.
Play
Who needs a metal and plastic playground? Nature play delivers mega-value for imaginative play, physical activity, and well-rounded development.
Learning
Every day, in every kind of weather, there’s so much to learn from the natural world. From pill bugs to STEAM activities, natural learning is within arm’s reach.
Therapeutic Needs
Your own backyard will be a place where your kids can find sensory balance, challenge themselves, and build coping skills that will help them in their daily lives.
Inclusion is Essential
Children’s landscapes are the most successful when they’re designed for all abilities. Jena speaks at national and international levels on designing landscapes for children with autism and sensory processing challenges. Her philosophy is “What is good design for children with autism and sensory issues is good design for all children.”
