About the author

Sue Stuart Smith

The Well Gardened Mind braids three things: the clinical research on gardening and mental health, the history of horticultural therapy in hospitals and prisons, and Stuart-Smith's own grandfather, who came home from the First World War unable to function and was put back together by a horticulture course.
