The wisest book Ive read for many years Much more than a gardening book, much more than a guide to better mental health, it is a wholly convincing story of how troubled minds might find a way of reconnecting to themselves and rebuilding confidence and hope by way of nature Ive learned so much in the way of the history of psychiatry and psychology as well as practical tips for both mind and garden Hugely recommended STEPHEN FRY
