Learn how to start kitchen scrap gardening and examine natural growth in unusual places! The world around us has changed. Our lives may appear to have slowed, but mother nature continues to flourish. We see plants popping up in unusual places and animals wandering into new spaces. Wind patterns are changing and the hole in the ozone layer has even started to repair itself. This level of growth is a great reminder that, despite our calls to stay at home, life (all life, not just human life) goes on. These activities are designed so that you can examine the growth that continues to occur, even in the most improbable spaces.
Can growth occur in the time of social distancing? Certainly.
Growth takes time. Perhaps, with so much of your time spent at home, you’ve been able to pay closer attention to the changing of the seasons. Or maybe you’ve thought more and more about how the world got so big and interconnected in the first place. Chances are that your influx of time has led to spurts in personal growth, too – a chance to revisit a hobby, more time to practice an instrument, more time to connect with your family, and grow your relationships.
Remember that growth is expressed in a variety of ways. Growth is innovation. Growth is change. Growth is revealing what’s been there all along. Growth is perspective, and it comes from looking both backward and forward. The world may feel like it’s standing still right now, but rest assured, one way or another, it’s growing.
When you look back – in six months, nine months, one year, two years – how much will the world – your world – have grown?
