2.There is a connection between security for people and security of nature
3. My generation needs to open doors for the next generation

Bit of spring colour in the garden! Delighted to see the forced Rhubarb growing in my birthday present.

Little glimmer of ☀️ at @thegreenestate.bsky.social much needed after weeks of miserable (news matching) grey, cold, windy weather. Love the magical sun shining through our Food Forest entrance archway! 💚

Green spaces are linked with better mental health New research has found that a green home environment, and access to green and blue spaces, protects against anxiety and depression.

Evidence from a study of 2.3m people over 11 years shows that local green space has a positive impact on #mentalhealth evidence.nihr.ac.uk/alert/local-...

My beautiful office in the recent snow in middle of #Sheffield Yes #Sheffield the 4th biggest city in the U.K.! Snow is a double edge sword for us. Looks lovely but stops play!
