After looking at it a few times i'm thinking that i have to say ある and 自然 like it's one word.
Even though i know the words, i don't think i would have understood if someone said it to me in a conversation.

Is it a more natural way of saying 自分の周りの自然 ?

Are you familiar with the structure of the relative clause in Japanese? 「自分の周りにある自然」 is a relative clause. In Japanese, the main noun of a relative clause comes at the very end of it while, in English, it comes at the beginning.

自分の周りにある自然 = the nature that exists around me.

私が昨日行ったレストラン = the restaurant that I went to yesterday
