If you are keen to try and enjoy the natural world as much as possible, that’s something that is always going to be possible to achieve. In fact, there are so many ways to enjoy nature and to make this more a part of your life, so that is something that you should absolutely be aware of here. In this post, we are going to take you through some of the best examples of how you might be able to do just that. You should find that the following is all well worth being aware of and trying out for yourself.

 

Grow A Garden

One thing you may want to try your hand at is growing a garden. If you have the space at home to do this, then that is certainly going to be worthwhile, and it’s something that can help you to feel a lot closer to nature and the natural world in no time. There are many ways to approach this. You might grow fruit and veg, or you might just want to have nice perennials and flowering plants. In either case, growing a garden is a great ecological thing to do, and will help you to enjoy the natural world in your own home.

 

Bring Nature Indoors

You might also want to bring the natural world indoors as well. This is something that can make the home a much nicer place to live, as well as strengthening your bond with nature, so it’s a very simple thing that can make a huge difference to your life for sure. It’s a simple case of having some pot plants around the place, and making sure that you care for them properly and fully. If you can do that, it’s going to mean that you are much more able to really enjoy your home and nature in one.

 

Go For Walks Outdoors

You might also want to think about going for some walks in nature. This is a really powerful way to get attuned to the natural world and to feel as though you are part of it, and it’s something that can help you to enjoy yourself so much more on the whole. You might even consider going barefoot for some of it. However, if you want to do that, make sure that you protect your feet as you do so. All in all, walking in nature is a beautiful experience, and one that you can definitely consider.

 

Visit Gardens

There are also a lot of gardens that are available for the public to go and see, and these can be a great way to enjoy nature in a sense. If you want to do this, just take a look online and see if you can find any in your area that you might want to check out. You might be surprised at how many open gardens there are. This is a really simple and fun way to make sure that you are enjoying nature a lot more.

Gardens by the Bay to join sustainable destinations programme

Gardens by the Bay to join sustainable destinations programme

Gardens by the Bay is the first destination in Singapore to be included in the EarthCheck Sustainable Destinations Programme, which is accredited by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), said EarthCheck and Gardens by the Bay in a joint statement on Wednesday (April 13).

The programme, which started in 2003, works with tourism destinations to facilitate and foster responsible environmental and social planning and management practices.

A total of 27 destinations are included in the programme, among which are Glasgow, Nuuk in Greenland, and two places in Australia: the Whitsunday Region near the Great Barrier Reef and Rottnest Island.

EarthCheck was created in 1987 as a scientific benchmarking certification and advisory group for travel and tourism.

The programme provides operators with a holistic framework to benchmark and certify their environmental and social performance, in an effort to address some of the challenges facing the planet such as climate change and biodiversity loss.

Another similar benchmarking programme is by Green Destinations, a non-profit organisation for sustainable destination development and recognition based in the Netherlands supporting more than 200 destinations.

The Green Destinations Certification Committee supervises certification and benchmark awards based on the GSTC-recognised Green Destinations standard and other standards.

It helps destination managers and stakeholders enhance the destination’s sustainability and tourism quality.

“As we mark the 10th anniversary of Gardens by the Bay this year, we are renewing our commitment to being part of Singapore’s sustainability story. We aim to achieve best practices in sustainable tourism by benchmarking against GSTC-recognised international standards through the EarthCheck Sustainable Destinations Programme,” said Mr Felix Loh, chief executive officer of Gardens by the Bay.

The EarthCheck Sustainable Destinations Programme is in line with Gardens by the Bay’s sustainability road map, which was recently developed based on the ESG (environment, social and corporate governance) model to drive the destination’s sustainability efforts in the future.
