Housebound? Grab your camera and head outside with the children by Vicky Spelman

Encourage your family and friends to garden – get them started by photographing what is going on in your yard and what you are growing.  Or what new Spring flowers are popping up.  Everyone loves seeing daffodils and the early bulbs blooming. 

What seedlings have you started?  Anything happening in your garden outside? Snap a photo!  If you have children, take a Nature walk and encourage them to make a drawing of something they saw on the walk, then take a photo to share with someone who may be housebound.   

Share your photos on Social Media or in an email to family and friends.

So, take your camera and head outdoors!  Spring is a great time to be outdoors.  Here is what is popping up in my yard: 

 🌺🎵🌺 In my garden there is a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful. ~Abram L. Urban  🌺🎵🌺

Enjoy the day outside! During this time of disruption, our gardens and nature walks can be places of security, sustenance and comfort.
