Product Information

Those who work with the earth have known for years that there's a magical quality to gardening, yet not every gardener knows why. In The Well-Gardened Mind psychotherapist Sue Stuart-Smith breaks ground to explore the power of interacting with nature and how the garden can provide a vital place for cultivating the mind. From the science of the brain's own "gardener cells" to the beauty of flowers and the grounding effects of working with nature's rhythms of growth, decay, and regeneration, The Well-Gardened Mind-provides a new perspective on the power of gardening. Using case studies of people struggling with stress, depression, trauma, and addiction, as well as her own grandfather's return from World War I, Stuart-Smith explores the many ways in which gardening can help transform people's lives. Presenting recent scientific research into why people feel more fully alive and energized in the natural world, why gardeners report feeling calmer and more vigorous, and why spending time outside awakens the connection-seeking aspects of our human nature, she argues that our increasingly urbanized and technology-dependent lifestyles make it more important than ever to rediscover a closer relationship with the earth. Thought-provoking, inspiring, and full of surprises, The Well-Gardened Mind shows that our understanding of nature and its restorative powers is just beginning to flower. Book jacket.

Reviews
"[Stuart-Smith] delivers a thoroughly researched text based on her deep and wide reading about the history of gardening, her visits to many of the therapeutic garden sites she mentions, and her interviews with many people, professionals and patients alike...Full of surprise and wonder." -- Kirkus Reviews , STARRED review "Fascinating... Sue Stuart-Smith renders a very special service with this book. Let's hope it reaches not only the converted but those who need it most." -- The Observer (UK) "This is a life-affirming study of the special pleasures of tending your garden and growing things...[Stuart-Smith's] heartfelt arguments for the benefits of nature and gardening for our mental health are informed by research in neuroscience and the evidence of patients who have improved through therapeutic gardening." -- The Guardian (UK) "Wise, insightful, and eloquent, Stuart-Smith's soulful and sensitive treatise on horticulture's healing properties is a well-positioned book for the current age of anxiety, offering a personally relevant perspective on how to cope in troubled times." -- Booklist, "In this gentle and wise book, Sue Stuart-Smith explores the vigorous relationship between the land and mental health, demonstrating the many occasions and ways that gardening can strengthen our inner vitality. In examining working of the land as a psychodynamic process, she exposes deep truths about the interconnectedness of the mind, the body, and what lies outside ourselves, and she does so with a winning mix of verve and generosity." --Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon and Far from the Tree "A compelling and deeply moving account of how profoundly our wellbeing can be affected through contact with gardening and the natural world. This is a timely call of return. Read it." --Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with Amber Eyes "This is an important and timely book. Mental health is a growing concern and yet is the least developed, least understood and least well-resourced aspect of medicine. Sue Stuart-Smith's book is beautifully written, drawing on a lifetime's experience as both as a clinician and a gardener, and I urge everyone to read it." -- Monty Don of the BBC's "Gardeners' World" "Fascinating in its content, lyrical, moving and elegantly written, The Well Gardened Mind explores and celebrates the very real connection we humans feel with plants and by extension, our gardens." --Rachel de Thame of the BBC's "Gardeners' World" "Riveting, inspiring and often very moving, Sue Stuart-Smith's journey into the therapy of gardening reveals just how deep our connection with nature is, how much we risk when we cut ourselves off from it, and how much we can gain from its restorative power. A lively, compassionate exhortation for us all to get our hands back in the soil." -- Isabella Tree, author of Wilding "The wisest book I've read in many years. You don't have to be a gardener or own a garden to take immense solace and pleasure from this remarkable book. Dr. Stuart-Smith doesn't presume to make absurd and extravagant claims, but everything she says about the mind (and I've learned so much in the way of the history of psychiatry and psychology, as well as practical tips for both mind and garden) has the ring of authenticity and truth. Hugely recommended." -- Stephen Fry, "A psychiatrist and gardening devotee explores the mental health benefits that come with tending a plot. Something we can all use right now." -- People "Sue Stuart-Smith seeks to go beyond the truism that getting out in the garden is good for you." -- The New Yorker "Examines how being disconnected from nature has negatively affected our mental health and how gardening can help to reconnect to nature...passionate and thoughtful." -- Medium, "[Stuart-Smith] offers science-backed insight into the healing effects of nature...a joyful, peace-giving read." -- Woman's World magazine "This is a book so wise and comfortable that it merits a place alongside Christopher Lloyd's The Well-Tempered Garden by the side of every bed...[Stuart-Smith's] deep understanding of the human psyche makes this a perfect source text as well as an engrossing read." -- Illustrated Garden magazine "A truly uplifting book on the power of gardening - and how it can change people's lives." -- Stylist (UK) "The most original gardening book ever....Combines observation, horticulture, literature and history...it is a book that builds, chapter by chapter....as a reference and an inspiration...there is much here to feed the soul." -- Sunday Times (UK)
