Life can be pretty damn stressful; bills to pay, mouths to feed, jobs to go to, wives and girlfriends to pay attention to – not to mention everything else! People talk a lot about ways to destress, ways to unwind and ways to try your best to relax. There are all kinds of herbal remedies, ways to aid your sleeping patterns and even things like yoga and breathing exercises to try and bring the world to rights. But can we look a little bit closer to home to try and help ourselves?

People talk a lot about how nature can be soothing; how long walks in the park can destress us, how going on touring holidays can reset our cores and really bring us peace. But why spend all that money, travel all that distance, when the most tranquil and beautiful piece of nature is outside your very home? So go outside, pull up a chair and really sink in to the closest and most personal bit of nature that there is; your garden.
