People have always been drawn to nature for both peace and sustenance. We farm and garden, hang bird feeders - establish parks and go fishing - we look for ways to be “out there” and we bring flowers and plants inside.  Nature is a fascinating powerhouse, an endless puzzle and a wonderful source of tranquility - even if you’re only looking out a window.
