Hi friends !

Sounds perfect to me.
Lots of people like to be in contact with nature - go for walks and work in the garden.

Some people say that. Others like to be "in touch" with nature. I think "in touch" is more common, but both are definitely used.

I ´d go for ´in touch with ´ as well (just like ´in touch with reality ´)

I agree w/Marion...problem is some people are in touch w/nature but not in touch w/reality.

Or "I feel connected to nature." "In touch with" is probably the most common.
