The power of small steps - start your day with a cuppa outdoors for better sleep. To spark creativity, open your sketchbook and draw.

Here's to the people who let nature be,
Who skip the harsh chemicals, and let it run free.
For spaces where children and wildlife can thrive,
Embracing the beauty with a natural vibe. (2/2)
In the cracks of concrete, where life finds a way,
Little treasures emerge, brightening the day.
Wall moss like soft cushions, a whimsical sight,
Pavement plants popping up, what pure delight! (1/2)
