TOUCH GRASS. It’s the time of the year where you can. Where you can sit outside, feel dry little green spikes against the palms of your hands, smell some flowers, see lots of dogs, quench hot thirst with a nice cold can of whatever, see people laying down with shirts over their eyes, hear laughter and prosecco popping, and practically taste the barbecue food sizzling in the corner of the park. The park, yes, that’s where you are, it’s park season.

Being in nature is a blissful existence for many of us. Studies have shown that immersion in nature is good for our wellbeing (of course!) As well as that, parks offer us a place of sanctuary: nice aesthetic greens and flowers, places to run around, lay on the floor and more, and for those of us without access to gardens and larger greenery, they’re incredibly important parts of anywhere we call home.

Despite the ideal vibes, we can always look to maximise the feel-good factor of a park trip. Whether it is a date and you want to make things cute, considered and cosy, or just a solo trip that you want to leave you feeling especially ‘main character’ these items are hand picked to help you reach peak park. And given you’re milling about a free place soaking up rays and getting slightly dusty bums, there’s less guilt involved in spending a little money on vibes elevation.
