Back to routine. Headspace reset 🏃‍♀️✨

Back in the gym for the first time in weeks 🏃‍♀️
Life has a way of getting busy — work, family, everything else — and before you know it, your usual wellness routine slips ⏳ Not from lack of movement (I’ve been gardening loads 🌱), but from losing structure.
It’s interesting how even when you’re still physically active, being out of routine can really affect your headspace 🧠

How do you stay consistent when life gets hectic? What helps you get back into a rhythm? ✨. I’d love to hear your strategies!

Verbascum- Beautiful, tough & beneficial 🌿🌿🌿 This variety was supposed to be Clementine but I think it’s more Peach Champagne? Loads of reasons to plant. 🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿 For nature:
🐝 Feeds bees, butterflies & hoverflies with long-lasting blooms
🦋 Supports insects like the mullein moth, strengthening food chains. 🌿🌿🌿🌿 Design benefits:
🌾 Strong vertical accent – tall flower spires add height and rhythm, great for breaking up lower planting
🌿 Architectural form & texture – bold rosettes and soft, felted leaves give structure even before flowering
Attributes:
🌱 Tough, resilient pioneer plant for poor & disturbed soils
🌾 Produces thousands of seeds, aiding landscape recovery
Wild, useful, and quietly powerful ✨

Lovely visit to this afternoon, between the showers to source perennial plants for a client. Also treated myself to a few beauties (don’t tell the hubby!). Great to meet Dean & see what fantastic progress they’ve made on the nursery. For those who are just learning about plants it’s a bonus to see these plants growing in real borders so you can see how they grow, I highly recommend a visit!
