Flower of the Day - Snowdrop (or Snowflake)
Message - be yourself, be natural & have fun
Green is the colour of nature and the symbol for sustainability, conservation and recycling. Those who have a talent for gardening are said to have "green thumbs" or "green fingers".
Some ways to be more green could be:
- removing invasive plants and weeds from your garden
- enjoying locally grown seasonal produce instead of imported items
- selecting organic fruit, vegetables, grains and packaged foods where possible
- remembering to use a pretty shopping bag instead of flimsy plastic bags
- choosing products with less packaging
- using a beautiful cup instead of disposable cups
- avoiding bringing unnecessary plastic items into the home
- walking instead of driving short distances
- buying a beautiful vintage item instead of a cheaply made new one
