Research has recently shown that just a few minutes in nature has measurable positive effects on our physical and mental well-being.

Or as the old saying goes: You should sit in nature for 20 minutes a day… unless you’re busy. Then you should sit for an hour.

Maybe this means that you spend time outside in your garden tending your veggies. Planting flowers for bees and butterflies.

Or this week, during National Indoor Plant Week, maybe you bring nature indoors into your living and working spaces.

Remember that tending your plants and your gardens isn’t just plant care, it’s self-care, too!

What’s your favorite way to spend some time in nature?

Anybody can sell you plants, we make sure you succeed.
