10 Tips to Connect With Nature While Staying in a Big City
The population of big cities is going up exponentially day by day with all the migration from other parts of the country as well as from outside the country. Hence, space has become a premium and the open spaces of yester-years have all been cramped up into a concrete jungle. But don’t lament if you are a nature enthusiast, as here are some simple ways to connect with nature while still staying in a big city.
1. Grow plants
This is the first step you can take in your stride towards your bonhomie with mother nature. Having a garden may not be feasible but potted plants are good enough. Water them, nurture them and watch them grow. It will give you a feeling of contentment and joy.
2. Take a trip to the countryside
Go camping whenever you can, make time or just go to a quiet weekend retreat in the lap of mother nature. It will rejuvenate you and help you reconnect with nature.
3. Go holidaying in a wildlife park
Take your family with you for a trip to a wild life sanctuary during holidays. This way you can not only spend quality time with your family but also bond with nature and its off-springs.
4. Visit the botanical gardens
If holidays seem like a distant dream to you in your hectic life, at least make time to visit the botanical gardens and marvel at all the species of plants and trees you didn’t even know existed. This will also help to add to your knowledge apart from helping you to connect with nature.
5. Visit the zoo
If you are not much of a plant person, the zoo would be a better option with all the exquisite breeds of animals from around the world at one place, for you to visit. Take your children with you and you are bound to have a great time.
