I read the other day that one of the largest studies ever conducted on gardening which was funded by Innovate UK and the National Institute for Health Research had concluded that ‘people who spent time in the garden report better physical and mental health levels than those who do not’
Whenever I have been asked where my interest in gardens came from, I recall a holiday from my childhood. Whilst many gardeners I have met can trace their careers back to their father or mother being keen gardeners I cannot.
