  • Supported by the National Trust
  • The latest medical and scientific research that shows connecting with nature is essential to our wellbeing
  • Easy, small ways to feel the benefits, wherever you are
  • A beautifully illustrated, inspirational and informative book

Just Add Nature is an inspirational and informative guide that shows how we can all benefit from spending more time in nature. Drawing on the latest research, it demonstrates that you don’t need to live in the countryside or have access to an abundance of green space to make valuable connections with the natural world around you. Often it’s the simple pleasures – like eating seasonally, identifying wild flowers, listening to birdsong, being close to water, or nurturing a houseplant – that bring the greatest reward.

Around the world, doctors have been experimenting with prescribing nature to help patients' wellbeing, and this book does just that. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the demands of modern life or simply want to explore ways to slow down and truly appreciate the world around you, Just Add Nature can help.
