Nature has a way to instantly lift my mood. Even j Nature has a way to instantly lift my mood. Even just a stroll through the garden is often the perfect quick break from work. Having grown up in the Free State with its wide, open spaces and ample outdoor places to explore, the city sometimes feels a bit limited when it comes to nature.

At the same time, it also allows us to give our children a head start in life.
