Notes on Nature

Spring is officially here, and Nature is doing spectacular things right now. Whether you live in the countryside or the city, you won’t have to travel far to catch a glimpse of the magic of the season. From frothy blossom to fluffy ducklings, Nature’s newness is there for the taking. But perhaps one of the most phenomenal Nature spring happenings is the effort and craft that goes into building nests.

One of the best things about being a dog owner is getting out on lots of wonderful walks. One of the worst things? Having to clean mud (or worse) off your furry friend when the walk’s over. Here’s our guide to choosing the right dog shampoo for your precious pooch.

Our founder, Rivka Rose, started Faith In Nature in 1974 when she was in her early twenties. Almost 50 years later, we talk to her about what her success and the growth of Faith In Nature mean to her.

Being a dog owner gives you endless opportunities to get out into the great outdoors – and spring is a wonderful time to experience all the goodness that Nature has to offer. We decided to make a list of great dog walks in the UK. And who better to consult than our staff’s pack of lovely four-legged friends?

Welcome back to Culture Forager, the roundup of stuff that’s grabbed our attention lately. Now that spring’s on its way, Nature’s putting on a stunning display. We’ve picked out some wonderful things to do in the great outdoors – and a few for indoors, in case of spring showers.

Spring is in the air, which means lots of lovely new things appearing in Nature. And this spring, we’re delighted to announce a lovely new thing that our customers have been asking for.

Today we’re throwing our Indie Spotlight on something a little different: a mobile zero waste shop. Based in Bristol, Oat Float is a colourful vintage milk float that delivers plastic-free refill products directly to customers’ doors (and containers!). We caught owner Matt on a break from his busy rounds to find out more about his brilliant business.

Hair masks have the pampering power to pep up locks in need of some extra TLC. But what is the difference between a hair mask and conditioner? And how often should you use a hair mask? We’re here to answer these questions and more. 

We love independent health shops. They’re where our founder Rivka started the business way back in 1974. Which is why we’re especially proud of our new partnership with Health Stores UK.

Everyone knows that roses smell good. Rose oil, made from the petals of the flowers, has been used in beauty remedies for centuries. Beyond its elegant aroma, what are the benefits of rose oil? We asked our founder and renowned and qualified aromatherapist Rivka Rose (yes that really is her surname!) to tell us more.

Take a birds’ eye view of one of our 400ml bottles and you’ll notice a special embossed message: ‘Recycling is good, refilling is better.’ But what exactly does refilling entail? And how does it help Nature?
