Welcome to Maria’s February Nature Challenge. Maria is our resident Herbalist at Boundary Way and she’s been looking at how to get everyone more connected with Nature. She’ll be setting one challenge per day, for the whole of February, with a linked alternative challenge for people unable to get out or are short on resources.
The idea behind these challenges is to get us outdoors and encourage us to get up close to the nature around us. During these challenging times, we are limited to where we can go to get a bit of outdoors time. If you, like us, you’re feeling a little fed up of going on the same walks from your house over and over again, fear not as these day-by-day challenges include a mix of science, nature, facts, creativity and herbalism to offer you the chance to see those walks with renewed interest, waking up your senses, firing your imaginations and connecting you deeper to the nature that you are a part of. We hope you enjoy these challenges, they are intended to give you permission to learn, explore and experiment. We ask that you tackle each challenge with mindfulness of the planet, situation and natural resources and remind you to gather where required carefully and with honour. We always ask the plant spirits and fairies permission before we take anything. We’d also love it if you could share your findings, art, photos, poems and stories with us – use the hashtags #Mariasfebchallenge and #boundarywayproject, and tagging us @boundarywayproject on Instagram and @BoundaryWayArts on Facebook.1st February Challenge: Grow It Part 1
