Welcome to Nature’s Notes.
In a world that moves fast, it’s easy to lose touch with the rhythms of nature… those gentle cues that remind us when to grow, when to rest, and when to simply be.
This space is a collection of simple, practical growing resources—guides to help you understand flowers, plants, and the seasons that shape them. It’s a place to learn the basics, to experiment in your own garden, and to notice the subtle ways nature speaks.
For deeper reflections on seasonal living, personal growth, and the wisdom woven into nature’s cycles, you’ll find those over on Her Wild Wonder, my Substack. But here? Here, you’ll find the groundwork—the tangible ways to work with the earth, observe its shifts, and bring more of the natural world into your daily life.
Let’s dig in (pun intended… of course).
