If you want to spend more time outside, you can eat a picnic in the garden or a park, watch the stars, let the outdoors inspire you creatively such as drawing or poems, or find things to see and touch, like grass under your feet or the feeling of wind.
If you want to try more activities outside, you can do geocaching, beachcombing, woodland trails, local walking/rambling groups, or regular exercise such as yoga or jogging in a park.
You can use a glass jar to make a mini garden (“terrarium”) for your desk, using plants, soil, stones and anything else you’d like to include. Some people like to add seashells, or plastic toys or figurines.
You can take photos of your favourite places in nature to use as backgrounds on a mobile phone or computer screen, or print and put them up on your walls. Try listening to natural sounds, like recordings or apps that play birdsong, ocean waves or rainfall.
If you want to bring nature inside, you can: buy flowers or potted plants for your home; collect natural materials like leaves, seeds and bark to decorate your living space; arrange a space to sit by a window; grow plants or flowers on windowsills.
If you want to grow your own food, you can grow vegetables in your garden or plant salad leaves or herbs in a window box. You can also grow food with others on an allotment or community garden, or go fruit picking.
If you want to experience nature more, you can grow or pick food, bring nature inside, do activities outdoors, help the environment, or connect with animals.
