Try to focus on each of your senses, one at a time. What do you hear, see, smell? What do different grasses and flowers feel like? This is a good way to really enjoy nature on its own. For example, you could start by sitting outside with your eyes closed. Focus on what you can hear. What animals or insects do you hear that you don't normally? Can you hear water or the wind in the trees? You could also focus on really looking while you're outside. Look for details you wouldn't normally notice, like the pattern bark makes on a tree trunk, or the veins in a flower petal. This is an especially great activity if you've got kids you're teaching to appreciate nature. Pick up unusual leaves or rocks. You can also look for flowers or fruit. If you're collecting with a kid, you can get a glass jar for them to store their goodies in. It makes it feel more special and gives them somewhere to store their things. Be careful about picking up stuff off the ground. You don't want to accidentally pick up poison ivy or anything like that. What's in season will change, but there's more to do than just pick apples in the fall. You can go berry-picking at a local farm. You can also pick oranges in the spring and summer months if you live where they're grown. You could also go to a farmer's market and choose fresh produce. Farmer's markets are almost always held outside, and they feature seasonal fruits and veggies. A home garden will require you to be outside pretty regularly while you tend to your plants. Measure the space you want for your garden and ask an expert at a home garden store for plant suggestions. If you have a tent, put it up in the backyard. Otherwise, you can just lay out sleeping bags and sleep under the stars! Try to avoid taking any electronics outside with you. Instead, enjoy the weather, look at the stars, and take some time to take in where you are.

Summary: Engage each of your senses while you're outside. Collect objects from nature. Pick fruit. Plant a home garden. Camp out in the backyard.
