Box of Nature

BenchTalk was created by nonprofit Nature Sacred, a growing network of urban sanctuaries designed to reduce stress, improve health, and strengthen community. This lovely book is composed of anonymous journal entries collected in their publicly-accessible green spaces. From the whimsical to the profound, the entries are a poignant, powerful and personal reminder of our common humanity. All proceeds from the sale of BenchTalk fund Nature Sacred’s continued work and impact to bring the healing power of nature to all through community-led, nearby, reflective green spaces.
