I’m using the time that I’m home due to COVID to better understand and integrate the environment around me. I’ve planted a bee garden, a bird garden, a herb garden (over 700 plants in, 300 more to go), and it has been really wild to see the impact those relatively small things have done. I have hummingbirds, a opossums family, at least 4 different types of birds nesting on my property, and I haven’t needed to go to the store for any vegetables. When I need herbs or salad, I just pop into the garden.
I’m sure climate change is real, but I didn’t realize how much power I had when it came to making a positive change. It is very encouraging.
