Experience Every Moment: What is Slow Living?

Experience Every Moment: What is Slow Living?

In the last few decades, the slow living movement has been on the rise. Take a deep breathe, calm your mind, and let Hidden Botanics tell you all about it.

It can be a hectic world out there, what with the internet showing us everything we could ever want (all at once), with screens in our homes and in our cars and in our pockets. The speed of life is accelerating, enabled by the instantaneousness of technology, which expects us to be connected and available at all times. We are building a world passing its own speed limit, we eat fast food and drink instant coffee and count our minutes instead of savoring them. We may feel like we need to spend every second of every day of every week doing another new and different and productive thing and that if we don’t, we aren’t living to our fullest potential. A stressful outlook, to be sure. This is where “slow living” comes in.

How to Start Living Sustainably in 6 Easy Steps!

Living more sustainably doesn’t have to be difficult. With these six tips, anyone can begin living sustainably.

Despite the largest contributor to climate change being coal and oil companies, and these organisations having similarly ruinous effects on their surrounding ecosystems, this doesn’t mean we can ignore personal responsibility, and as we get scarily close and closer to the point of no return with our environment, we should all be trying to do our part to live more sustainably and in an eco-friendly way.

That task may sound quite daunting, but don’t worry! No one is expecting you to flip a switch and suddenly become a sustainable, environment-saving machine. There are plenty of smaller ways you can start to live a more eco-conscious life

5 Common Flowers with Incredible Histories

5 Common Flowers with Incredible Histories

The history of flower arranging is almost 5,000 years old. These are the stories of 5 favourite blooms.

Going back over 4,500 years, ancient Egyptians were the first recorded use of flowers as decorations as early as 2,500 BCE. As is often the case today, flowers were chosen not only for their beauty, but for their symbolism, with flowers being tied to different emotions and gods.

Given this multi-millenia-spanning history of flower arranging, many flowers - including those stocked and sold by Hidden Botanics, have accrued intriguing histories and associations.

However, these aren’t all there is to it. Each anniversary also has a flower (or sometimes multiple flowers) attached to it. Give your partner the romantic gift they deserve by giving them the flower that commemorates your years together.

Many of the flowers below are available as part of Hidden Botanics dried or artificial floral arrangements, browse our stop and see if anything perfect for your partner (or yourself, we won’t tell) catches your eye!
