Do you feel connected to your garden?
.
More than ever, we need our home to be a sanctuary, our place of peace.

Did you know that spending just fifteen minutes in nature makes you happier, less stressed and more grounded? Why not bring that tranquil feeling right to your back door? @douglaslandscapedesign shares three tips for maximizing your home’s connection to the outdoors:
.
1. Create beauty with plants: this one is the most important for me. Whether you have a small space or a huge one, plants bring beauty and vibrancy that feed our souls. You can literally bring nature right to your patio.
.
2. Adjust your temperature: you’re not going to want to be outside if you’re uncomfortable. Many of my landscape design clients have found that adding a simple firepit (or a shade structure) makes the outdoors so much more alluring when you might otherwise be tempted to retreat indoors as soon as it’s chilly.
.
3. Bring your beverage: whether it’s coffee or wine, sit outside for just a few minutes. Many mornings, I sit with my tea on my front steps as I contemplate the day. I notice the sounds around me and feel the sun on my skin.
