Product Description

Product Description
Gardening is one of today's most popular leisure pursuits, yet is rarely seen as a holistic, therapeutic practice that can enrich lives and fulfil spiritual needs. This work attempts to redress this imbalance by exploring the history of horticulture and the ancient wisdom of poets and philosophers.

From the Back Cover
Gardening is one of today's most popular leisure pursuits, yet rarely, if ever, is it seen as a holistic, therapeutic practice that can both enrich our lives and fulfil our spiritual needs.

In this exquisitely crafted and illustrated book, Donald Norfolk attempts to redress the balance as he explores the history of horticulture, and the ancient wisdom of poets and philosophers. Tracing the natural rhythms and beauty of the changing seasons, he also demonstrates how we can all discover the secrets of nature's healing, restorative powers.

Uniquely inspirational and illuminating, THE THERAPEUTIC GARDEN invites us to recapture the simple pleasures of the past and to create a new, enriched vision of the future. It is a vision that leads us to understand how, when we cultivate the soil, we can also cultivate the soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book on the benefits to body and mind of garden, 9 Mar 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Therapeutic Garden (Hardcover)
This book by a renowned osteopath recounts the benefits of gardening, based on the place of gardens in history and recent scientific research. Most of the book is about the evidence for improvements in medical and physical health accruing from gardening on however small a scale, linked to our need to relate to nature springing from mankind's pastoral past. There is a lot of good advice on how to get the best fron gardening in these terms. Not for devotees of trendy ready made gardens with lots of stainless steel! Highly recommended.
