What is biophilic design, and why do you need it in your office? via Fast Company

The image depicts a modern office space with a large, dark wooden table at the center, surrounded by several black office chairs. The room is well-lit with natural light streaming in through a large window with a grid pattern, revealing lush greenery outside. The walls are painted white, and the floor is a light gray concrete. Several potted plants are placed around the room, adding a touch of greenery and life. The table is cluttered with office supplies, including a laptop, books, and papers. The image is framed with a decorative border featuring stylized leaves in pastel colors, including shades of green, blue, and pink.</p></p> <p><p>Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

The field of biophilic design aims to create spaces that optimize productivity and well-being. In the roughly 300,000 years humans have been on Earth, offices have only really been around the past few hundred years. Biophilic architecture is based on the concept that humans evolved in natural environments, and because of this, we feel the best when these factors are mimicked. Incorporation or mimicry of the natural world into our built spaces can greatly improve peoples’ health, happiness, and productivity.

Why Your Seeds Aren't Sprouting via Lifehacker [Shared]

While our elementary school science classes may have taught us the basics about seeds and how to plant them, if you’ve gotten into gardening as an adult, you’ve probably figured out that there’s plenty more to learn. And unfortunately, growing a plant isn’t necessarily as simple as putting a few seeds in dirt and adding water and sunlight.

For example, even if you seemingly do everything right, your seeds may not sprout. As it turns out, seeds are more fickle than many people realize. Here are some of the reasons why yours aren’t sprouting.

Dry gardens explained - 10 expert tips for a lush landscape via Livingetc [Shared]

Dry gardens get their name from the fact that they’re never watered, relying solely on rainfall. How good does that sound – freedom from watering duties forever. But that’s not their only benefit. Our summers are getting hotter and drier because of climate change. This means it’s a good idea to choose plants that will cope with dry soil and no additional watering if you’re concerned about water consumption.

Although the name doesn’t sound particularly appealing you can still have lush foliage and soft textures if you’re clever about dry garden design. Creating dry gardens is easy to do and it requires less maintenance than regular gardens as you generally leave it to get on with things. It taps into the sustainability trend too, saving water by using drought tolerant plants and mulching with gravel to keep the soil moist.
