NOTES FROM THE<br />
Garden<br />
By now we have enjoyed snowdrops,<br />
daffodils, cherry blossom and so much<br />
more from tulips to the brilliant green of<br />
new leaves on the trees… and there is so<br />
much more to come.<br />
Currently and over the<br />
past months there has<br />
been a huge amount<br />
of media coverage of<br />
mental health - both<br />
the fleeting and the<br />
fundamental, and also<br />
a number of reports<br />
about the benefits of<br />
gardening.<br />
After a stressful day, if<br />
you are lucky enough<br />
to have an outdoor<br />
space, just a few<br />
minutes breathing<br />
the air, watching the<br />
birds and seeing the<br />
seasonal changes can be<br />
incredibly beneficial.<br />
Tending your houseplants can be, too. Your garden is your<br />
own personal space, it is a valuable resource for you and<br />
for your family and making it a space you want to spend<br />
time in is so important. It need not cost a fortune, or indeed<br />
anything, there are often items on websites that are free to<br />
pick up, gardeners love to share seeds and cuttings and it is<br />
amazing how quickly you can enjoy the fruits of your labour,<br />
from a bunch of flowers to bring the outdoors inside, to a<br />
salad of your own home grown leaves. It has so much to offer<br />
so I hope your gardens bring you joy - and help to keep you<br />
healthy in mind and body.<br />
