Product Description
Product Description
With our increasingly busy and stressful lifestyles, more and more people are discovering the joys of gardening as a means of getting in touch with the natural world. As an antidote to urbanized and alienated living, there is no better stress-buster; it soothes the mind, gently exercises the body and provides an outlet for all our creative impulses. In The Healing Garden, Gay Search delves deeper into why gardening is so beneficial for our well-being and, more importantly, shows how to transform our own gardens into more soothing and balanced places to escape to. With practical advice on everything from growing your own herbs and organic produce, to how to use scent and which flowers to grow for colour harmony, The Healing Garden demonstrates the way to a healthier, happier life with your garden. Full of fascinating information on the history behind many of these ideas as well as looking at the latest research, The Healing Garden will appeal to committed gardeners and anyone looking for a new source of inspiration in their life.
From the Author
“Gardening is such an optimistic activity. By sowing a seed you are investing in the future, and gardening, unlike life, gives us all endless second chances. Perhaps gardens and gardening ought to be available on prescription.”

Gay Search has managed to combine beautiful photography and text to bring an educational and thought provoking book to readers.
The explaination of the history of sensory plants and the catogorizing of the different uses was excellent, and the reader is able to find specific plants of personal useage. A well thought out and sympathetic section was available to help allergy suffering gardeners find low pollen plants, this was of use to myself as this is a particular problem of mine during most of the year, however, putting this aside I carry on using a good mixture of plants and simply put up with the hay fever regardless!
I am also keen on aromatherapy and the easy to follow instructions and uses of the oils was clear and precise.
I now look forward to putting my new found information into practice.
