Our little garden has become my sanctuary — a place where I can reconnect with myself and truly slow down. It’s well known that nature is the best medicine for stress and anxiety, and being surrounded by it helps me appreciate the beauty of each moment and slow down.
In this episode, I invite you to explore my garden and the beauty of nature, allowing it to spark your creativity and curiosity. We'll be harvesting, drying herbs and flowers, making basil salt, and creating homemade strawberry jam. It’s amazing how these simple activities can bring so much joy and creativity into our lives. My hope is that this small pause offers you a brief escape from the hustle of everyday life and inspires you to embrace the art of slowing down.
Let me know which project was your favorite, and share how you like to preserve the tastes and smells of summer in the comments below!
With lots of love,
Karin 🌻
