Nature has a way of easing the nervous system like none other. Surrounding yourself with plant life via gardens, hikes or just collecting houseplants will do your body good. Green spaces in neighborhoods statistically change the mood and outcome of your day. Images of nature have been shown to do the same for the nervous system as being in nature. As a photojournalist and garden educator, my practice centers these facts. Focusing my lens on nature allows me to assist in, not only the highlighting of local green spaces and gardening practices internationally, but also giving you the peace of mind received when in nature. My artistic practice expands past photography into local green spaces as a garden educator. As a garden educator, I teach and lead nature walks for youth and adults. During these nature walks and educational workshops, I highlight local herbs with healing benefits and ways to bring gardens closer to you. I bring my camera on these walks to document these experiences in real time and share them with viewers like you. See Alexy’s work on Instagram at @ GreenTrioLove and @WhereNextLex
