We all know that, long ago, humans lived outside in a way that was much more connected to the land. Over time, we've evolved to spend most of our time indoors, usually connecting with screens much more throughout the day than nature. While this shift is taking a toll on our physical and mental health, you don't have to live in a mountain town or book a wilderness trip to reap most of the benefits of the outdoors. In this episode, I connect with writer and environmentalist Emma Lowe on her mission to uncover the latest research on the healing potential of spending time in nature. We discuss her book, Return to Nature: The Science of How Natural Landscapes Restore Us. The book journeys through eight distinct landscapes and explores a mix of new scientific studies and ancient spiritual wisdom on the healing properties of reclaiming our relationship with nature. It also offers non-preachy solutions for building a more reciprocal connection with our environment. Emma is an environmental journalist and senior sustainability editor at mindbodygreen. In addition to her recent book, she co-authored The Spirit Almanac. Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: The difference between wilderness and nature, and why that distinction is important Why it's so important for us to connect with the green spaces around us Why living in a city is no excuse for missing out on the benefits of nature The positive impact being outside can have on your mental health The argument between taking a break in nature vs. taking a passive break inside What green exercise is and its unique benefits How we engage and think about nature as we age Five- and 10-minute intentional practices you can do near the water, in the snow and in urban environments to better your mental health and connection Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l Free 5-Minute Guided Meditation l Electric Ideas Podcast Connect with Emma: Instagram | Website | Book: Return to Nature
Ecological restoration projects often require thousands of seeds or seedlings. But there's another approach that's gaining momentum, especially on Tribal lands: introducing water or fire to a landscape and then letting long-buried seeds come back to life. Portland-based freelance journalist Josephine Woolington wrote about this recently for High Country News and joins us with more details.

Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast My guest today is Owen Wormser. Owen is a sustainable landscape designer from Western Massachusetts and author of Lawns into Meadows: Growing a Regenerative Landscape, from Stonepier Press. This specialty in landscapes forms our conversation today as we discuss his design process of creating meadows. This includes: Using nurse crops for establishing a meadow. Designing with a variety of plant heights, bloom colors, and a resilient mix of species in mind. How to make meadows appear intentional as well as appealing to neighbors. Using grasses as the framework that ties a meadow together. The role of a meadow in an ecological landscape. Workhorse plants for our designs. Getting started with our own meadow. Find out more about him and his work at AboundDesign.com, and his book, Lawns into Meadows, at stonepierpress.org. Become a Patreon Supporter Make a One-Time Donation to the Podcast Schedule a Call with Scott Follow the show on Instagram and Twitter. As permaculture practitioners, establishing meadows can form an important part of our design toolkit. We can leave an area barren, but intentionally tended around, and allow the seed bank to grow up and select from the species that arise as the base for a meadow, or what to leave intact as we establish a food forest or design around for our garden paths. In areas with restrictive covenants on trees and tree heights, or in towns with weed ordinances, meadows can be a beautiful way to restore the landscape while skirting those restrictions. If we live along waterways or as farmers trying to reduce the total daily load from runoff and fertilizer, and to reduce topsoil losses, buffer strips of meadows along our streams and rivers can improve water conditions while saving our earth. But, those are just my thoughts on meadows at the moment. What are yours?

If you're tired of using the same old, same old in your landscaping or are looking for new and exciting ideas to stimulate your design process and excite your clients, then tune in for this interview with Dave Maciulis, creative genius, principle designer and CEO of Natural Landscapes and the publisher of Natural Landscape Magazine.We discuss what the top designers and design/build contractors in the industry are doing. Listen in as we discuss the hottest trends in landscape design and construction, and how you can become a part of it. We are going to focus on the latest trends in: -Outdoor living spaces -Kitchens, fireplaces and fire pits -Green roofs and living walls -Swimming pools -Extending the season -Sustainable green product trends -Hardscape and landscape materialsMaciulis is the creative genius and principle designer of Natural Landscape Inc., bringing more than 20 years of landscape industry wisdom and experience to every project he touches.Maciulis, never satisfied with the status quo, endeavors to take everything he touches and make it better. His passion won't be limited by the small town he operates from, so he uses his “ADHD power” to take the average small-town business and make it available to the masses on the web. Whether he designs in-house or through his cyber design service he spends his days rescuing landscapes, one home at a time. Next stop world domination!From simple to extravagant, Maciulis loves any challenge. He's not afraid to fly beyond traditional and create unique outdoor-living environments for his clients.In office, Dave presents as a metrosexual designer with his European manbag and iPad in hand, although he finds it a challenge to know which designer shirt to wear over his “stealth abs” (washboard stomach hidden under 3 inches of belly fat). In the field, he's more likely to wear Carhartt work pants, steel toe boots and carry a shovel. Dirt and sweat are not foreign to Dave and he will be in the trenches to ensure that every project is completed properly – quality control is at the top of his list.Maciulis's won numerous awards for both himself and local landscapers and has appeared as an expert on TV shows such as “Backyard Pleasures” and “Til Debt do us Part”. He also publishes a Canada-wide landscape magazine to inspire homeowners about outdoor living.
