Ready to get outdoors? On our blog, discover five fun ways to spend time in nature right here in Central Florida.

Gardening is one of the best ways to experience the improved health and mood that outdoor living can bring. And it doesn't take a green thumb to reap these rewards — just a willingness to learn and a love of nature.

Sowing the Seeds of Well-Being

If you plant colorful plants and flowers, you probably won’t be the only one hanging out in your garden! Pollinators like bees and butterflies might become frequent visitors, and these new friends can make your time outside even more special.

One of the best things about gardening is eating what you grow. Tomatoes and cucumbers are easy first plants, and they’re good for you, too. Plus, they can grow in pots, window boxes and the backyard.

Pick Plants for Pollinators

Enjoy the Fruits (and Veggies) of Your Labor

When it comes to the benefits of sunlight and fresh air, the sky is the limit. Whether you’re a country-lover or a city-dweller, spending time among the bees and butterflies can improve your memory, decrease stress and help you feel healthier and happier.

Good Nature, Great Wellness

Add nature into your everyday life by making the outdoors your workday break room or scheduling your next catch-up with friends at a local park. You’ll soak up vitamin D from the sun, breathe in clean air and feel re-energized for the rest of your day.

Horticulture and Whole Health

Spending time in nature is a great way to relax, rejuvenate and practice mindfulness — the art of living in the moment. As you walk through the garden at Butterfly Landing presented by AdventHealth, take a moment to notice all the living things around you, from the smallest butterfly to the tallest tree. Plus, see how many plants you know; there are two main types you might find our butterflies enjoying.

Celebration of Wellness

Before they turn into butterflies, caterpillars need host plants for their food. Each species has a particular plant they like best, so you can choose your plants based on the kind of butterfly you’d like to attract. For example, monarchs love to munch on milkweed, while swallowtails prefer dill and parsley.

Once their metamorphosis is complete, butterflies get their energy from drinking nectar. Some plants that provide this tasty drink include pentas, salvia and firebush.
