The Healing Garden: Nurture Your Garden So It Nurtures You

Harness the power of gardening to nourish body and soul with BBC Gardeners' World presenter Arit Anderson's companion to healing gardens

In today’s frenetic world, Arit urges all of us to turn to gardens for our wellbeing and discover how, as we nurture them, they nurture us.

As a garden designer with an appreciation of healing and alternative therapies, Arit is deeply attuned to the importance of connecting with plants, gardens, nature, and the environment.

The Healing Garden will explore:

• The history of healing gardens and medicinal planting
• Specific gardens created to navigate grief, mental health, and physical rehabilitation – what design choices they made and their impact
• How to soothe the senses
• Ways to use planting
• How to use color in gardens

By combining thoughtful design, the most beautiful plants, and a wider understanding of the health and scientifically proven health benefits of connecting with nature, anyone can create their outdoor sanctuary.
