How spending time in the garden is good for your mind, with Author of The Well Gardened Mind, Dr Sue Stuart Smith

Send us a textHow can getting involved in gardening help the health & wellbeing of people and the planet?If you’re interested in how gardening can help your mental & physical health listen to my guest this week, DR Sue Stuart-Smith who is a psychiatrist, psychotherapist and author of The Well Gardened Mind, a Sunday Times Bestseller & gardening book of the year by The Sunday Times. She investigates the magic that many gardeners have known for years – working with nature can radically transform our health, wellbeing & confidence whether we're struggling with stress, depression, trauma or addiction, & the book includes stories from asylum seekers to veterans, inner-city young people to the retired. Sue gives us such a deep insight into all the ways that gardening and growing vegetables helps people and their mental health, and how the more that we are in touch with the soil, the healthier the connection we have with ourselves and with our planet.She shows us us how much we gain from getting our hands dirty and feeling the joy of growing things out of the earth, both for our own health & for that of our planet.You can find our more about Sue’s work on https://www.suestuartsmith.com/And follow her on Instagram @suestuartsmithYou can follow Host Lou Hamilton on Instagram @brave_newgirl and on Linkedin @LouHamiltoncreatelabPS.
