With a focus on Baltimore, we hope to bring more nature into people's homes, businesses, schools, and organizations. For thousands of years, to be human was to be part of nature. There was no separation. To be alive meant to be completely immersed in our natural surroundings, utilizing our senses in a myriad of ways. Today's world is much different. We've lost that daily, frequent interaction with nature and moved indoors. The ramifications of this are numerous- increased stress, depression, inability to concentrate, etc. Not everyone has both the time or the means to spend several hours of the week outside. For many, getting outdoors is often scheduled rather than habitual or daily. It's also easy to find comfort in the predictability of indoor life. With bills, busy jobs, families, homework, etc., one often feels like they don't have enough time or energy to do something as simple as getting outside. Bringing more natural elements indoors is one way to blend the in with the out. If our reality entails a predominantly indoor lifestyle, we can still experience the vast benefits of nature through houseplants. This is not a call to disregard the outdoors (please spend as much time of your life exploring outside as you can!), this is a call to give yourself to the exact same feelings of rejuvenation and stress reduction indoors.
