SHARE YOUR GREEN SPACES<br />

Remember, your garden isn’t just yours—it’s<br />

part of a broader interconnected web of<br />

green spaces. By nurturing the wildlife in<br />

your garden, you contribute to a thriving<br />

environment for all.<br />

By providing food, you attract a diverse range<br />

of creatures, from bees and butterflies to birds<br />

and insects. This biodiversity enriches your<br />

garden ecosystem, creating a harmonious<br />

balance.<br />

Flowers that offer pollen and nectar are<br />

essential for bees, butterflies, and other<br />

pollinators. Without them, seed and fruit<br />

production would significantly decline. You<br />

help them and they'll help you.<br />

WORK YOUR GARDEN<br />

Tending to plants allows you to<br />

connect with nature. The smell<br />

of soil, the touch of leaves, and<br />

the sight of blossoms evoke<br />

positive feelings and reduce<br />

stress.<br />

Watching seeds sprout,<br />

nurturing plants, and witnessing<br />

blooms also gives you a sense<br />

of achievement. It boosts selfesteem<br />

and happiness, and a<br />

sense of purpose.<br />

BRING NATURE<br />

INDOORS<br />

Indoor plants offer a<br />

host of benefits that go<br />

beyond mere aesthetics.<br />

They offer a calming<br />

effect, lowering stress<br />

levels and promoting<br />

well-being. Real plants<br />

also sharpen attention<br />

and boost concentration,<br />

making them ideal<br />

companions for<br />

workspaces and study<br />

areas.<br />

They also offer a<br />

year-round and free air<br />

filtration system.<br />

FEEL GOODideas<br />

Whether you are looking to make yourself happy, or help others,<br />

here are a few ideas to help you get the most out of life<br />

SPRING CLEAN<br />

Tidiness enhances<br />

your overall quality of<br />

life, creating a tranquil<br />

atmosphere that<br />

positively affects your<br />

mood.<br />

When your environment<br />

and surroundings are<br />

clean and orderly, you<br />

feel more confident and<br />

capable to deal with life,<br />

which improves your<br />

demeanour and makes<br />

everyone happy!<br />

GET OUTDOORS<br />

Natural green spaces provide fresher air, reducing<br />

the risk of respiratory issues. People surrounded<br />

by greenery are 34% less<br />

likely to die from<br />

respiratory diseases.<br />

Sunlight also<br />

influences our<br />

internal clock,<br />

enhancing sleep<br />

quality. Just<br />

stepping outside<br />

can help regulate<br />

your circadian<br />

rhythm, improving<br />

your rest.<br />
