I think the great outdoors is going through a modern renaissance so I wanted to inspire you with 12 ways you can connect more deeply with nature this summer.
Did you know in the 1940s more than 40% of all the fresh fruits and vegetables came from people’s home gardens? While I don’t own my home and can’t put a bunch of raised garden beds in our teeny-tiny backyard… I can regrow my scraps!
Another one of my favorite ways to get in touch with nature is with my plant babes! I'm obsessed with my plants. I’m even trying my hand at propagating my pothos! Fingers crossed that it works.
Wrap a few sandwiches in a cloth napkin. Throw in some homemade hummus with carrot sticks, some fresh fruit like watermelon or strawberries, and then finish the meal with a nice bar of chocolate! Could there be anything better?
It’s economical, it’s outside and it’s f-u-n. Spend some time looking through campsites and plan out your perfect trip. If you don’t have equipment, try to borrow some from friends, family, or rent from a shop like REI or Sports Basement.
