I admit that when neonatologist Helen Chitty https://twitter.com/helenchitty4 got in touch to recommend The Well Gardened Mind by Sue Stuart Smith and to ask if she could join me on Bedside Reading I approached the book with some initial scepticism. Isn't gardening just outdoor housework? It turns out my initial apathy was matched by the author's when she had begun her journey into gardens, plants, nature and the power of growing to heal.
This is a stunningly good book, made all the better for me by the fact that my expectations were surpassed a hundredfold. I imagine if listeners like plants to begin with, this book would immediately leap out as a must read.
