Dear Wellness Seekers,

Spanista Suggests Personal Green Space Brings Everyday Joy is a means of enriching our souls in a simple yet rewarding way that lasts.

I came upon a stimulating review of Green Space Ideas to create personal ways to bring spring to life both indoors and outs. Spanista loves the idea of having a green thumb but unfortunately I did not inherit my Mother’s master gardener’s talents. But even if you do have a green thumb, with so many of us living such complicated life styles, it can prevent the opportunity to enjoy loads of time gardening. Yet Spanista believes we need this vital connection to nature that is so essential to our wellbeing. Why? Because tending to something from fragile seedling as it grows to maturity brings you out of yourself and into the gentle rhythm of life. This devoted time can help reengage the soul with the miracle of living things in a world heavily concentrated on virtual abstractions on technical aps.

These Green Space Ideas are a happy discovery in the NYTimes Sunday Styles Section as an article titled “Green Space” by Marianne Rohrlich. She shares 8 ideas that appeal to the heart of all types of gardeners. Here are my favorites:

1. Terrariums are micro worlds of green joy. This succulent garden has been made out of  a repurposed wine bottle. If you are not adventuresome enough to create it yourself, the Museum of Modern Art Design has a kit ready to go. You can find find it at momastore.org.

2. Strawberry Patch Tower with saucer accommodates 28 Mara des Bois strawberry plants from White Flower Farm. Tower can be found at Home Grown Gourmet Products.

3. For the people who would rather enjoy splendor of the garden without getting their hands dirty, or for relaxing after gardening to enjoy the fruits of your labor there is a large woven-cotton Grand Caribbean Nicaraguan hammock that holds two people – for a perfect afternoon cuddle nap. It comes from Hayneedle. Love the luscious sage green hue.
