UNIVERSAL NATURE CONNECTORS
Our vision: to improve well-being for humans and our planet. To
reconnect humans to the experience of 'being' with nature, for
this to be readily accessible to all and become the 'norm'.
We are especially interested in the mental and emotional health benefits of time spent in
-and connected with - nature and how opening new ‘everyday’ avenues to nature
connectedness can improve overall well-being for all. Through reconnecting and
inspiring love for nature it is our hope that people will start to love, care and protect our
natural home.
RHS Chelsea 2020 May 2020
THE EXHIBIT "Immersion - dive into natural
wellbeing"
Using the science of evidence-based
design the exhibit will showcase how
using nature design principles, can
positively enhance and encourage the
accessibility of everyday nature
experience for all. Interwoven with the
sense of curiosity offered in a sensory
garden set within an urban forest,
workplace, or high-rise. Design
elements set to be showcased, will
enhance well-being, reduce stress and
improve mental health, offering a
multi-sensory experience within the
very heart of RHS Chelsea. Designed by Gayle Souter-Brown, a
recognised international leader and
expert in salutogenic and biophilic
design, the exhibit will be open and
accessible to all.
The planned exhibit will be in a prime
location within the Discovery Zone of
the Great Pavillion, right in the central
hub of RHS Chelsea. This area is
specifically focussed on new, innovative
design and concepts. It has created
significant interest in the past and is an
area RHS Chelsea are engaging in and
augmenting for 2020. With 2020 being
year of the tree this is a prime
opportunity to collaborate in the ever-
growing community of nature
advocates.
