Dopamine Gardening
GROW CALM. GROW CURIOUS. GROW JOY.
Dig into 52 simple, seasonal projects to bring a little more green – and a healthy hit of dopamine (your ‘feel-good hormone’) – to everyday life. Whether you have a garden, balcony, or windowsill – reconnect with nature, and watch your happiness grow…
Science shows that getting your hands in the soil really can make you happier, while fresh air, sunshine, and gentle movement can all help improve mental health.
With an inspiring and crafty new project for every weekend – from growing calming chamomile from a teabag and edible mushrooms on used coffee grounds, to harvesting your own mood-boosting tea blends and crafting compostable bird feeders – the projects are low-cost, sustainable, and designed to suit any space. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or a curious beginner, Dopamine Gardening encourages you to slow down and find focus and joy in completing creative, satisfying tasks working with plants.
Refreshingly different and eminently achievable – discover the joy of gardening and create your own homegrown happiness.

About the Author
Amy Chapman started gardening when she bought her little cottage in the countryside of West Wales, complete with stream and ducks. She has a particular interest in organic, regenerative vegetable growing and creative gardening projects. Having grown up in a working-class family, Amy is devoted to sharing accessible projects which can be done in a small space and on a budget. Amy is passionate about reaching people who aren't currently gardeners, offering them a unique perspective and new ideas to get them hooked on gardening, so that they too can reap the benefits that it brings.
