Kusuma Nature Play
A new nature themed play area will sit next to a cafe
Their generous funding for Nature + Love will go towards the development of Kusuma Nature Play, an exciting new nature-themed play area, and improved access to the Horniman Nature Trail. Complete with a café and new facilities, Kusuma Nature Play will offer an engaging space for families to encourage learning and wellbeing through nature and play.
Thank you to Kusuma Trust for their generous grant towards our transformational project Nature + Love. Their support will ensure even more people can access and enjoy nature at the Horniman. We can’t wait to see the Kusuma Nature Play area brought to life in 2026, and full of families engaging with the natural world around them.
Nature + Love is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to begin work to make the Horniman more inclusive and accessible, placing environmental sustainability and a commitment to fighting the climate emergency at its heart.
