SOUTHSEA GREEN

The Southsea Green garden may not be open to the public and full of visitors right now, but behind the gates it’s brimming with treasures and truly flourishing.

Recently the Met Office announced that May was the sunniest calendar month on record since June 1957. All this extra sunshine has not only provided our green spaces with energy for an abundance of growth, but has seemingly powered all of us through these strange times. Many of us may have found ourselves feeling a little deflated recently, and looking after our mental health has never been more important, so it’s vital we find moments to pause, drop in on ourselves and ask ‘how am I really feeling right now?’ With so much focus placed on happiness as the key, we often don’t allow space for the whole spectrum of emotion that makes us truly human. To feel it all, and hold it gently with kindness matters most. Green spaces allow us the physical space to breathe and find this mental space. Right now they are flourishing. Maybe if we continue to nurture one space, the other will always follow. It’s never been clearer, Southsea is green and thriving.
