We all need it. It’s in that moment you realize the appreciation you have for the natural world. It’s walks in the park, hiking trails, camping, smelling flowers…
If you have taken care of plants (whether it’s yours or a friends while they’re on vacation) you find yourself watching that set of motionless leaves. You, quiet and contemplative. In that moment you are not thinking about yourself or your problems. You’re thinking about this living organism, wishing for its longevity.
I’m not perfect, I’ve killed plants. It took me awhile to understand what they need and how to look for clues to their necessities to thrive. But with each lesson learned increased my appreciation and desire to grow more. This pandemic has increased time at home. Many people look to plants and nature as a means to distract us from the stress and pressures of life. Plants are literally giving us life, oxygen! Their survival is essential to our survival. The more people conscious of the delicate balance for humans, flora and fauna, the longer we’ll all survive. Save the plants!
In my effort to spread awareness and conservation of plants I’ve handmade items that bring attention to their beauty and grace. I hope in the coming posts you find things that help aide in your plant therapy. And maybe you have a special someone that could use some plant therapy too.
In every walk with nature one receives far more then he seeks.
