The Calm of Fractals
Richard Taylor's research
Nature runs on fractals — branching trees, fern fronds, the edge of a creek. Research (Richard Taylor) suggests our visual system reads these patterns almost effortlessly, and that they measurably lower stress. A lawn erases them. A native bed brings them back. 🌿

A native planting is full of the patterns a clipped lawn erases.
