RHS Plants Can Save Your Life
Filled with 50 inspirational ideas for planting and growing, this book explores how embracing the natural world can promote a powerful, long-lasting and positive impact on our well-being.
Growing plants and (if we are lucky enough) creating gardens is deeply rewarding, but has also been proven to be vital for our health. Gardening helps improve our mood, relax us, take us away from our everyday problems, and promote positive emotions. It reduces anxiety and stress, can delay the onset of dementia, promotes joy, as well as improves physical health and even self-esteem.
Published in collaboration with the RHS, this newly revised book explores the ways we can introduce plants into our lives and thus embrace some of the benefits the natural world provides for our well-being. Divided into 50 sections, each one highlights a plant-based activity, how this is good for your health and provides links to the underlying concept that supports health and well-being.
RHS Plants Can Save Your Life by Ross Cameron invites readers to discover a symbiotic connection with nature, encouraging the incorporation of plant-based activities into daily life and enhancing overall health and well-being.
