Taking time to smell the roses...

Recently on I went to a sustainability talk by Sophie from gardening Australia.  She talked a lot about a wide range of topics including soil health, compost, worms and grass.  But she said something that stuck with me.....

Her message was essentially this....if you are feeling stressed, take your shoes off and stand on your lawn.  People are ment to be connected to the earth.  

I have read a few articles since supporting this and talking about scientific theory's behind it.  

But you know what?  It actually works.  I don't know if it's taking the time to be conscious of nature or if there is infact some whiz bang science behind it.  But for me, spending time in my garden actually looking at it, walking through it and being connected too it, barefoot is an amazing relaxation tool.  Sounds odd but truly it helps.  

These photos are a few of the gems I found in my garden yesterday.  💚

I hope you can find some time to unwind in your garden too.
