Pupils learn better in natural light, patients recuperate faster and with less medication when they can see nature, and there is evidence that it improves productivity, creativity and engagement in offices.

We would welcome any volunteers who would like to help maintain this beautiful space in central Launceston. Every time you make a user think through an ‘innovative’ navigation pattern or an unorthodox menu placement, it’s a chance to lose them.
