A sensory walk in the garden
THE LIVING APOTHECARY
Take a route you already know through your garden or neighbourhood. Go slowly enough to stop when a plant draws your attention. You can do this from a window or with a pot on the doorstep, too.
Colour, texture and sound
Find a colour you might normally walk past. Notice a texture without needing to touch it. Listen to what happens around the plant for three breaths. The sound could be rain on a leaf, wind moving through a stem or your own footsteps coming to a stop.
When you come home, write a sentence about one detail you’d like to remember. The next time you pass the same spot, see what has changed.
