Description

Understand why gardens and gardening are good for you, and transform your own outside space into a wellbeing paradise that helps our planet too.

Gardens can enhance your wellbeing, but why?

Covering design, plants, and the act of gardening, RHS Your Wellbeing Garden uniquely explains why green spaces are good for you and shows how to use that knowledge to optimise your outdoor space.

The plants you grow and your garden layout can induce relaxation, boost your cardio system, and enhance mood. A well-planned space will neutralise pollution, mask noise, and reduce household energy and water consumption. Moreover, gardening itself can improve flexibility and fitness, counteract nature deficiency disorder, and promote happiness.

Award-winning garden designer Matt Keightley and RHS Director of Science, Professor Alistair Griffiths, pool their expertise to write an inspiring practical book brimming with ideas supported by the latest scientific research on gardens and wellbeing. The case for choosing your garden plants carefully and considering your garden layout has never been stronger. Do it for you, your family, and the planet!
