Looking to nature for wellbeing
Being outside and enjoying green spaces and fresh air feels good and can improve our mental health .I certainly feel better after a nature walk but it's hard to get there.
Maybe we need a virtual space to share information and experiences
Here's a start :

Re: Looking to nature for wellbeing
@Shaz51 , so beautiful! When we lived in an apartment I used to keep plants in my balcony and I always loved spring and seeing my plants flower. Now I don't really have much time for gardening but still love the feeling of spring.
What type of plants do you have?

Re: Looking to nature for wellbeing
@Dimity thank you for sharing those articles.
Forest bathing is something I have been wanting to do with a guide. Whenever I can I do a bit of a walk in nature and I feel better afterwards. I didn't know you could become a forest bathing guide. I may do this when I retire.

I think that's a dahlia and a zygocactus @Shaz51 .
My mum and grandpa were great gardeners.
