NGS publishes Little Yellow Book of Gardens and Health

NGS CEO Richard Claxton said: “This year, our theme is ‘The Great Outdoors,’ and the book is packed with brilliant stories, hints and tips all focusing on how gardens and time spent outdoors can affect our health for the good. The publication, which includes personal and practical stories, is as beautiful as it is vital.” 

Through many personal stories and expert opinion from contributors including Dr Susan Taheri, Dame Laura Lee, Tom Hoblyn, Arit Anderson, The Beardy Gardener, a host of medical professionals, and garden owners, plus key nursing charities, the book explores the benefit of gardens and gardening for our own, and the planets, health.   

Leigh Johnstone, aka The Beardy Gardener, said: “I love this publication and am thrilled to be involved.” You can read his story about how the joy of creating a garden changed his life on page 48.
