“We can’t underestimate the significant value and well documented benefits of green spaces on our mental health & wellbeing” - Shelley Jacobs, Business Psychologist and Director of Michael Laurie Magar Ltd.
If you have access to a garden, a park, or other green space close by you will know that nature has the power to improve your mood.
This can include plants with a diversity of colours, textures, scents and shapes, gently flowing tall grasses, trees in leaf or with winter bark interest, soothing sounds of a trickling water feature, wind chimes fostering serenity or bird feeders rewarding with birdsong.
Sometimes where green spaces are limited, benefits can also come from the nurturing of houseplants, or even growing bulbs or herbs inside in pots when there is no garden or access to a green space. This may be in the space you work in, be this in an office or in your home.
