wildflower patch by our driveway!!

these flowers came from a dusty old box of ‘shake and rake’ seeds, had no idea if they would still germinate so i just chucked the seeds around and shortly forgot about them. it’s super easy to grow a patch of vibrant colour and biodiversity near your home and the bees will love you for it

GIRL HUSTLE // A First-time Guide to Sketchnotes

“There are mind maps and lists and pretty note cards and cue cards and everything in between. Simple black and white written notes aren’t as popular anymore, but for good reason. Creating colourful, visual notes help to remember material more efficiently than just words because of the additional link your brain can make to the shapes and images as well. Creating memories that are easily retrieved is all about making as many connections as possible; to make it easier for your brain to get from point A to point B.”

Savannah very kindly shared my work in their blog post, so I’m returning the favour! Such a super cute blog (via A First-Time Guide to Sketchnotes)
