where little explorers grow wild.
Nature-inspired explorer kits, workshops and resources that reconnect children and the young-at-heart with the wonder of the natural world.
grow wild helps little explorers to…
discover nature
grow curiosity
learn through play
be creative
care for our Earth
Remember when childhood meant collecting treasures, asking “why?” a hundred times and making friends with each tiny critter?
That’s the spirit of grow wild!
We create playful, hands-on nature learning experiences where children explore ecosystems, follow their curiosity and learn by doing. Think bug hunts, nature stories, making messy art, building handy projects and wondering wildly out loud.
It’s exploring that feels like childhood should.
how can your little explorer grow wilder?

hello explorers!
I’m Nathalie - an environmental educator, fellow nature nerd and grow wild founder.
With more than a decade of experience in education, as a qualified Primary School Teacher, NPWS Education Ranger, Teacher for Children with Additional Needs and more, I’m brimming with passion for inclusive nature learning where humans of all backgrounds, especially little explorers, feel welcome, safe and filled with joy!
Grow Wild is my way to share that passion to help children grow to find their place in the big world around them, wandering their own path of wonder and blossoming their own life-long love of learning.
Yes - that’s me as a little explorer! From foraging for bunya nuts as a child to decades later, I still see the natural world with the same sense of wonder. We all carry our curious inner child with us — nature simply helps us remember!
