After many moons of being buried in a storm of research papers, much mindful cogitating and tweaking, my website has hatched. Be welcome, settle in, clasp your hot tea and have a wander around. I wish you a gentle and kind journey.

Although gardening is as nearly as old as humankind, discovery of its qualities for contemporary life is new. If you are unfamiliar with gardening, be reassured by its benefits. Every clause of the benefits documented on this site is backed by the scientific and social science communities. If you have gardened, then feel free to nod your head knowingly or raise your eyebrows in surprised approval at the research.
