Combatting ‘plant awareness disparity’ through photos of the beautiful ‘green’ world all around us. Plants don’t just beautify – they oxygenate our air, provide food, support a wide diversity of wildlife and help us feel more relaxed when we share their space. Let’s not lose sight, literally, of how important they are to not only our well-being, but to all life on our planet.
I hope you enjoy looking at these photos. Studies have shown that even viewing nature in a photo or video helps relax us. And when the weather’s better, let’s go out and breathe the clean, forest-scented air, bathe in the gentle sunshine, and listen to the soft sounds of nature all around us.
