Fulfil your garden hosting needs on a budget

The first day of April is traditionally a day for pulling a good prank on someone. April 1st is also marked on the calendar as International Bird Day. We’ve been celebrating it for over 120 years, and only last week did I learn about the positive effects birdwatching has on the human brain. Experienced birdwatchers are said to develop a denser and better-organized brain structure thanks to their hobby. So if you’re not in the mood to learn a foreign language or play a musical instrument—both known to benefit the brain in similar ways—grab a pair of binoculars and a camera and head outside instead. Stay sharp! And, thanks to our Photography News, stay informed as well.

Earthy hues are the way forward this year
