Nature As Our Ally

An extract from my personal bi-weekly newsletter, Distracted:

“The beauty of gardening and nature is it’s always here…. It’s a reminder that life goes on.” Useful meditation on engaging audiences with style and content - and plants: How a British Gardening Show got people everywhere through the pandemic.

Fascinating conceptual book on plant design including the theme of Plants as Allies: speculative designs that look at “future alliances or future cooperations with plants.”

Mushrooms will save us and are the answer to everything.

New word: Waldeinsamkeit - German: searching for the solitude of the forest.
