This paper, written by two members of Landscape, Gardens and Health network management board was recently published in Landscape Research, as part of a Special Issue on landscape and health.  Angie and Daryl's paper brings together research from two projects undertaken with staff, visitors and volunteers at 10 Maggie's Centres.  It considers their experiences of Maggie's environments and the use made of internal spaces and garden areas.

1/3/2016

0 Comments

 
​Michael Connors, Director of Services at Penny Brohn and member of the LGHN management board shares the presentation he gave at the LGHN seminar in 2015. Michael discussed the role of the garden within the therapeutic program at Penny Brohn. He emphasized how an understanding of Ecopsychology (including mindfulness, eco-therapy and nature and soul) is integrated within the service provision at Penny Brohn. The garden, which is sustained by a strong volunteer team, provides a symbolic meta model for a ‘journey of transformation’ (the Hero’s Journey).
