Review of: Just Add Nature by Rebecca Frank (seems to be under Nature Prescriptions here).
Just add nature. I feel like this is a motto that can be applied to a lot of situations! Nature is a natural mood lifter and a simple walk surrounded by nature can do wonders to lift your spirit.
I loved the premise of this book and I feel like it’ll be a great read for all and any. Even as a huge nature lover myself, I learnt a lot from this book and also the realisation that I could be implementing a lot more to get more out of my natural world.
Connecting with nature is something I think we all need to do, and even if you’re already a lover of the great outdoors, there’s always more to learn. This book holds a treasure trove of helpful knowledge and hints to help you not only get out into nature more, but how to be more present and get more out of your time outdoors.
Even if you don’t live in the middle of an area of outstanding natural beauty, there is still beauty to be found in the corners of where you live. There’s a fantastic chapter on urban living, nature and wildlife which detailed all sorts of ways you could still get your daily beneficial quota of the natural environment.
The fact that it was also filled with scientific evidence and references to studies carried out was brilliant as well. And the artwork and illustrations are just stunning and really added to the lovely reading experience of reading the book.
It was a fantastically written book and one that I’d find essential to have on my bookshelf.
Thank you to the author and publisher for this book on NetGalley in return for my honest thoughts and review.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. I really enjoyed this book. I am always open to new ways to get in touch with, or closer to nature and there are lots of great ideas in here, such as journaling in nature, container gardening, and the 54321 technique. I appreciated the section on nature activism to help inspire those who read it into doing more to protect the nature around them and combat climate change such as making the countryside more inclusive, reducing food waste, planting more flowers and trees, and saving water. I also loved the illustrations throughout with them being simple but beautiful just like nature itself.
