![]() In due time, you'll have a blooming bed of flowers or a sufficient source of yummy produce anytime you want. Plant a GardenĬollect some seeds from your local gardening center, claim a plot in the backyard, throw on some cute overalls, and start digging with your friends or date. Hit the pavement and keep your eyes peeled for cool street art - you never know when you’ll stumble upon an Instagram-worthy mural or a hidden masterpiece. No matter where you live, there’s bound to be some local artists in your city or town. ![]() This is also perfect if you’re on the lookout for date ideas. Even if the price tags are out of your budget, file photos for future “dream home” inspiration. This wouldn’t be a true compilation of fun things to do outside if we didn’t suggest a bit of window shopping at a flea market (or three). Just make sure to honor the privacy of property owners. And if this isn’t something you have access to, create your own route-do some research on historic homes in your area and head out on a walk. This one tops our list of “things to do outside with friends.” Larger cities will often have local historical societies that host these tours, some for a fee and others for free. Even if you aren’t on the hunt for some produce, these markets offer a ton of things to do outdoors and a great peek at a local community-and more often than not, there are free samples and makers selling their wares. Head to the Farmer’s MarketĪrguably one of the best parts of summer (or any time of the year, depending on where you are) are farmer’s markets. Look for an outdoors shop that offers rentals, to save some money and support a local business. If you find yourself in a snowy situation, strap on some snowshoes and savor the layer of silence a fresh blanket of powder adds to a scene. Whether you’re sketching out the scene in front of you or opting for simple doodles, getting some lines on a page while taking in the fresh air will have you feeling like a new person. There are a lot of things to do when it’s nice out, but sprawling out under the shade of a giant tree with a sketchbook and some pencils is one of the most relaxing. Sit down, close your eyes, and take in the natural sounds. We’d recommend finding a quiet spot in a park to set up a blanket. The great thing about meditation is that you can do it just about anywhere. ![]() We’re not talking serious meditation (unless you’re into that). Plan your trips around what’s currently peaking and, eventually, you’ll experience the best of the entire park. The best part about these gardens is that there’s always something to see-even if you’re visiting in the middle of winter. Many cities have dedicated green spaces that feature seasonal blooms and plants. If you’re finding it tough to walk without a plan, give yourself a brain game: For example, take a left turn every time you see someone wearing red. Unlike taking a walk where the focus is on getting to a specific place at a certain time, a flaneuring session should be long and winding. You can flâneur through both familiar and unfamiliar places, just try to take in the scenery as someone experiencing it for the first time. To flâneur is to take a long walk without any particular destination in mind.
