Plants to boost your home office productivity ...
Did you know that plants can have an effect on you? Those with bright flowers or vibrant foliage are energising, while softer colours and round leaves are calming. Green has always been a harmonious colour so plenty of green is always a good idea.
If you are working at a computer, its necessary to take a break at least every 30 minutes. Keep plants with interesting textures and pattens nearby to rest your eyes on and you will be drawn into contemplating their amazing colours and textures. A good exercise in mindfulness.
If you want to find out which plants are perfect for brain stimulation, getting you energized or calming you down, read more on the Get It Lowveld.

🪴🪻It is really difficult to garden on steep

🪴🪻It is really difficult to garden on steep slopes, but creating a terrace with Löffelstein retaining blocks opens up the possibility of planting a vertical garden feature, quite literally a beautiful flowering wall.

The most suitable plants are those with small or shallow root systems. They should be hardy and heat- and drought-tolerant, as most retaining walls are hot and sunny. To create an interesting and colourful flowering wall, plant blocks of single varieties and colours to achieve a massed effect.
For a green wall, use spreading or trailing ground covers with different coloured foliage to produce a pleasing pattern.🌹🪴🎍

For more information on getting started, watering and choosing the right flowers, read the full article on the Get It Lowveld website.

Some tips:
* Start with small plants or healthy, well-established seedlings that can grow into the cavities. Bigger plants will be hard to plant and may not establish as easily.

* Use either compact or spreading plants, depending on the effect you want. With spreading plants, it may not be necessary to fill every cavity and you may also be able to skip a row. Start planting at the top of the wall and work your way down.

Meals created by a celeb chef. Sunrise yoga. Glori

Meals created by a celeb chef. Sunrise yoga. Glorious gardens and fine wines and spa treatments. This isn’t your everyday weekend escape.😊
Imagine. Luxurious accommodation. Exceptional meals by a celeb chef. Fine, fine wine tastings. Throw in award winning, breathtakingly beautiful gardens. Spa treatments. A helicopter flip. This, obviously, is not your common-or-garden-variety weekend away.😎
Brahman Hills in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands, is always a treat. But this promises to be something completely OTT indulgent. The Brahman Hills Experience is an exclusive weekend boasting an enchanting blend of experiences for guests seeking an extraordinary fusion of comfort, culinary excellence, artistic beauty, and thrilling adventures.
🍷🍷Guests will indulge in exceptional dinners prepared by celebrity chef Pete Goffe-Wood. Along with dinners, there’ll be wine tastings from some of South Africa’s finest wine estates ... think Mullineux, L’Ormarins, Haute Cabriere and Bruce Jack Wines.
You’ll also have the chance to explore the 26 distinct garden rooms on the property, as well as the unique art and sculptures in the guided garden and art walks by designer landscaper, Tim Steyn and art curator Tyron Selmon-Butler.
For relaxation, there will be a Saturday sunrise yoga session, and an indulgent 90-minute spa treatment at the Healing Earth Spa. And for thrills ... a 15-minute heli ride over the five-and-a-half hectare, award-winning gardens.
Rumour has it there’ll be a few national rugby icons on the weekend escape, so you’ll get to rub (very broad) shoulders with the sports stars … we’re talking Tendai Mtawarira (Beast), Stefan Terblanche, Duane Vermeulen, and Hanyani Shimange
The Brahman Hills Experience has three packages – Platinum, Gold, and Silver – each tailored to cater to different preferences and budgets, all of which will include the accommodation, meals, non-alcoholic drinks, guided walks and yoga. Add ons (the heli flip and spa treatments) are available for the less expensive packages.😉
The experience is from Friday to Sunday May 10 to 12, rates are from R8400 to R11500 a person, sharing, and bookings can be made on the Brahman Hills website. @brahmanhills

Finding relief for strains, sprains & stiffness We $Finding relief for strains, sprains & stiffness We all know exercising is essential for our well-being. But those workouts or walks, runs or cycles sometimes bring on the aches and pains. Strains and sprains, stiffness and soreness ... which can range from being uncomfortable to being completely debilitating. Biokineticist Kevin Oliver tells us more about sports injuries and helps us understand inflammation, which is the body's natural response to injury or trauma, and many sports injuries - including sprains, strains, fractures, and tendonitis - involve inflammation, characterised by swelling, pain, heat, redness, and loss of function. Read what he has to say on our Get It Lowveld website. Managing inflammation is essential to avoid a prolonged or chronic inflammatory state, to reduce pain and restore functionality. Conventional treatments may include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroid medications. However, many people pursuing healthy lifestyles prefer natural and holistic solutions that are free from side-effects. If you prefer to go the natural route, there are plenty of plants with anti-inflammatory properties - peppermint, rosemary, ginger and eucalyptus are a few. The Aromatic Apothecary Sport range includes roll-on, spray on and rub-on products that can be frequently applied on-the-go and provide quick relief throughout the day. The Sport Roll-on Relief is gel-based, and the roll-on applicator not only delivers active ingredients that are quickly absorbed into the sore muscle or joint, but it’s also a mini-massage. The Sport Spray-on Relief is a water-based solution, so perfect for larger, sore areas, such as an entire foot or shoulder, with no massage necessary so no sticky or oily hands. And the Sport Rub-on Relief is an easily absorbed cream that needs just a brief rub into sore muscles and joints for targeted relief. There’s also a massage oil, and the magnificently effective Sport Mustard Milk Soak Bath Crystals.
