The Wildflower's Workbook: A Journal for Self-Discovery in Nature by Katie Daisy

inspiring reflective relaxing medium-paced

3.0

 I carried this workbook with me to the park over the summer, every time I took my kids to the playground, so that I could use it while out in nature.  Filled with lovely artwork to savor. I might even cut some of it out to upcycle into wall art later. 

As far as a journal, it was meh. I'm someone who normally enjoys journals and workbooks with writing prompts. Some of the prompts in this book are harder to use in the moment, like a "camping checklist." I prefer more self-reflective prompts.
