Embracing Your Mortality
The power of silence spaces in nature
Show Notes

Today, my guest is freelance garden writer, historian and photographer Liz Ware, whose passion is introducing Silent Spaces into public parks, gardens, and green spaces where anyone can go to reflect silently in nature. 

Liz started Silent Space in 2016, initially as a not-for-profit project, which has now evolved into full charitable status, supported by major gardening societies and leading garden experts. 


Liz’s articles and photographs have appeared in leading horticultural magazines and she is a member of The Garden Media Guild and Professional Garden Photographers’ Association - and she says her work with plants has taken her to every corner of the globe. 


I love Liz's vision of inviting visitors to switch off from their daily lives, and quietly attune to the healing sounds of the natural world.  


I hope you do too.

You can find out more about Liz's work through her beautiful website: Silence Spaces
