I know from personal experience how gardening helps heal many
mental and physical ills. When you are sad, a garden comforts.
When you are humiliated or defeated, a garden consoles. When
you are consumed by anxiety, it will soothe you, and when the
world is a dark and bleak place, it shines a light to guide you on.

Both as a plant scientist and a home gardener, I am a passionate
believer in the therapeutic power of plants. Professor Alistair Gri?ths
has brilliantly summed up the most cutting-edge research in this
?eld in such a readable, relatable way, I am now his biggest fan.
And after this book, I reckon there’ll be a queue!

When I spend time outside, I instinctively feel a natural shift allowing me
to tune in with everything around—from birdsong, worms working the soil,
and watching plants bloom, to the changing seasons. Touching the soil,
sowing seeds, and nurturing growth isn’t just about reconnecting with
nature, it’s about ‘remembering’ that we
are
nature. This mindful process is
so good for our well-being. When that realization happens, you can view the
world in a whole new way, and gardening allows that to happen every day.
