Closeup of green and mauve hydrangea blossoms

Green Dimension Photography by Erica Jurus

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.
