About this product

Product Information

This inspirational and authoritative book on mental health and physical labour teaches us how vital gardening can be as an escape for the brain and how having green fingers can help our minds through movement as well as thought. How can gardening relieve stress and help us look after our mental health? What lies behind the restorative power of the natural world? In a powerful combination of contemporary neuroscience, psychoanalysis and brilliant storytelling, The Well Gardened Mind investigates the magic that many gardeners have known for years - working with nature can radically transform our health, wellbeing and confidence. With illuminating stories of how people struggling with stress, depression, trauma and addiction can change their lives, this inspiring and wise book of science, insight and anecdote - now translated into fifteen languages - shows how our understanding of nature and its restorative powers is only just beginning to flower.

  • Superb insight into the healing benefits of gardening.

    The author is extremely well qualified and knowledgeable on this subject. I was fascinated to read how gardening or being in an outside space can have such healing effects on people, both with mental health issues or on those who have been imprisoned or have suffered brain injuries or PTSD. I have always gardened and know, first hand, how much better I feel after I have spent an hour or so in my garden. This book simply confirms my deep held beliefs and I feel that I want to buy a copy for everyone I know, so that I might convince them of the overwhelming power that gardening can have on the human mind and body. A brilliant book.
