LGHN Conference 2017

26/9/2017

​More than 50 delegates attended our conference The therapeutic value of landscapes and gardens: evidence-based design and beyond at the Penny Brohn Cancer Care Centre in Bristol on Friday 22 September. The day provided an opportunity to hear about current projects and research from keynote speakers, panel presentations as well as to partake in practical activities outdoors. A big thank you to our hosts at Penny Brohn who allowed us to use their beautiful house and garden – and provided some great food too! It was a perfect place for us all to share interests and ideas.

Health and Horticulture Conference at RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show

12/7/2016

Health and horticulture
Few of us would disagree with Lord Crisp, the opening speaker at the Health and Horticulture Conference 2016 when he quoted the WHO: 'modern societies actively market unhealthy lifestyles.' The key role of horticulture and green infrastructure in reversing this situation was the subject of many of the presentations that followed.
 
The RHS has made pdfs of the presentations and podcasts of the conference available for circulation.

Michael Connors - the Healing Garden at Penny Brohn

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).
