In this ground-breaking new book, Jan Cameron demonstrates the connection between gardening and mental health. She distils a life- time's experience of award-winning work in community gardens and with people recovering from mental illness to show in a direct, accessible way how tending these shared green spaces promotes our well-being and brings tremendous therapeutic benefits. Using stories to illustrate different facets of the garden's annual cycle, the author shows how stages of the growing year act as a powerful metaphor and can even mirror healing mechanisms for states of distress, anxiety, depression and other challenges. Jan is a passion- ate advocate for the principles of organic growing and how those too apply to human health. At least one in four of us will experience mental health problems - and the beneficial values of working outside in nature are ever more recognised. This, then, is a timely and essential book for us all.
Jan Cameron has worked in therapeutic and community gardens for 40 years and has seen first-hand in many different contexts how gardening directly benefits our health. Jan has clocked up three years as a community education/youth worker; ten years working in residential school for distressed children; 25 years work in mental health training gardens and six years working in community gardens. This, her first book, is set to be the primary resource on this important subject.
