Hugging a giant redwood tree

Adam heads to Harcourt Arboretum near Oxford.

Joined by Catherine and Roger from the Arboretum’s education team, discover what an arboretum really is and why it’s sometimes called a living library of trees.

Explore wildflower meadows bursting with colour, spot butterflies like the red admiral and marbled white, and gaze up at an enormous California redwood.

Learn why connecting with nature is great for your wellbeing, try some bark-hugging, and find out about willow weaving activities and special family days at Harcourt.

Then, get creative at home with Georgia's craft: a DIY pressed flower bookmark, inspired by the Arboretum’s blooms. Packed with outdoor inspiration and crafty fun!
