23.01.2022 If Coronavirus has highlighted only one thing for people, it should be our society’s dependence on industrialised food systems and our lack of knowledge of ‘gr...anny skills’. There’s definitely been some form of awakening with people learning new skills like baking bread and attempting to grow food for the first time. Both of which are awesome! But the important thing to remember is that the goal shouldn’t be, to be self sufficient. It’s not often that it’s sustainable for one family to produce all the things they need. And that’s where community comes in. Connecting with our neighbours and local community to buy, swap, barter and give away excess produce. Or trade skills, knitting, sewing, preserving, etc. Not only are you moving away from supporting agriculture that’s not benefiting eco systems, supporting organic and regenerative local farms run by local families but you’re forming connections with people which is so powerful. It takes a village, not just to raise a child but to raise ourselves up to the best way we can possibly live. @adnamira_homestead See more

20.01.2022 Have you had the sensory experienced of brushing past the foliage of geraniums that release scents of ginger, lime, lemon, rose, orange, nutmeg, apple or cinnamon?. . The leaves and flowers are edible and can be used to make herbal teas, or to flavour vinegar, syrups, sauces and jellies. . The sense of smell can also be particularly effective in provoking memories for all people.... . Select plants with a variety of foliage colours and flowers, plants with different textures, scrumptious herbs, vegetables and fruits for smell and taste, as well as grasses and trees that rustle or crunch. Your plant selections could also reflect the change in seasons. Providing a number of different spaces within a garden is a good way to balance this dichotomy. Keep some areas of your garden tranquil with subdued colours and very familiar plant choices but also create spaces that are stimulating to each of the five senses: sight, but especially for individuals with dementia.

02.01.2022 Grounding, or earthing, is the theory that barefoot contact with the earth can produce changes in a variety of physiological measures, and some science seems to back it up, according to dietitian nutritionist Carrie Dennett Early studies are showing that the health benefits come from the relationship between our bodies and the electrons in the earth. The planet has its own natural charge, and we seem to do better when we’re in direct contact with it. There is actually some science behind this. Research has shown barefoot contact with the earth can produce nearly instant changes in a variety of physiological measures, helping to improve sleep, reduce pain, decrease muscle tension and lower stress. credit Luisa Brimble
