Feel better after watching this? 🌳 You're not the only one! Research suggests even seeing nature through a screen can improve our mood.* But getting a daily dose of nature can be tricky. Many of us are still WFH but we can still add a bit of green to our screens! 🌱 Tag a friend who might benefit from taking mini break from emails to enjoy a touch of nature.👇 *Journal Environmental Psychology #DesignByNature 
Need something to brighten up your day? In these long, cold and dark wintery days a little bit of nature can go a long way 🌳🌻🌸 #TBT when we collaborated with @mayorofldn to make growing in cities easier and more accessible to all Londoners, wherever they live. We designed a #GiveItAGrow planting kit and gave away 10,000 at 18 collection points across the city. Did you pick up a kit? Let us know if you're still giving it a grow! This year we're digging into more nature-based campaigns. Watch this space. 👀 #ThrowbackThursday #GiveItAGrow #DesignByNature
