 There is now considerable research linking nature contact with health and wellbeing.
It suggests there are five key ways in which exposure to the natural environment is beneficial to human health These are: enhanced personal and social communication skills; increased physical health; enhanced mental and emotional health; enhanced sensory and aesthetic awareness and the ability to assert personal control; and increased sensitivity to one’s own wellbeing. Sarah Bell from Exeter University discusses the development of a research-inspired garden at the Eden Project that uses a novel art-science-horticultural collaboration.  |
AboutHere we feature research and events that show the therapeutic value of gardens and green space. Our aim is to provide a central forum and to ensure the subject is of interest to a wide range of people.
