The Well Gardened Mind: Rediscovering Nature in the Modern World (Hardback)

'Must be the most original gardening book ever' - The Sunday Times

'A compelling and deeply moving account of how profoundly our wellbeing can be affected through contact with gardening and the natural world. This is a timely call of return. Read it.' - Edmund de Waal

'An important and timely book ... Sue Stuart-Smith's book is beautifully written drawing on a lifetime's experience as both as a clinician and a gardener, and I urge everyone to read it' - Monty Don

'Riveting, inspiring and often very moving, Sue Stuart-Smith's journey into the therapy of gardening reveals just how deep our connection with nature is, how much we risk when we cut ourselves off from it, and how much we can gain from its restorative power. A lively, compassionate exhortation for us all to get our hands back in the soil.' - Isabella Tree

'A book so wise and comfortable that it merits a place alongside Christopher Lloyd's The Well-Tempered Garden by the side of every bed ... Her writing has the simple grace of someone who really knows her subject and how best to explain it ... As wide and as thorough as her scientific training and her in-depth research ... Her deep understanding of the human psyche makes this a perfect source text as well as an engrossing read.' - Gardens Illustrated
