Hey, I am Nisi<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eco-Botanical Artist & Writer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am an eco\u2011botanical artist and writer tending a small forest garden, where creativity and wellbeing are cultivated through soil, seasons and stories. The three principal ethics of the permaculture design process guide me both as a gardener and artist; Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share. As well as providing food and sanctuary for wildlife, I use the rich variety of flora I grow here within my creative practice.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am committed to promoting sustainable development \u2013 care for ourselves, care for our communities and care for the natural world. This is reflected through my photography, writing and illustrations. With a playful approach I draw on each practice, weaving in the five pathways to nature connection (contact, beauty, meaning, emotion and compassion) to ignite a sense of awe, connection, or shift in perspective, whilst highlighting the profound connection that exists between creativity, nature and wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where possible, materials used are sustainably, ethically and locally sourced near where I live and work in the Lothians, Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining restorative yoga, mindfulness, aromatherapy and lots of self care advice…I slowed right down and felt very restful at the end, sleeping very deeply that night! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
