The Well-Gardened Mind
Restorative Power of Nature & Gardens
Monday 4 March 10:45am
A
one-day symposium that aims to raise awareness of how gardens, and a
return to nature, can play a major role in the treatment of mental health
and other health issues.
Keynote Speaker, Dr Sue Stuart-Smith
from the UK, is a prominent psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and author of
the book, The Well-Gardened Mind. Her book describes her research
into how gardens, involvement in horticulture, and a return to nature, can
improve a participant’s physical, emotional and social wellbeing.
Sue
will be joined by Australian presenters, Steven Wells (Austin
Health) and Tanya Bearup (My Garden Space); both specialists in
evidence-based, ethical, and person-centred horticultural therapy. A panel
discussion with all 3 speakers will finish the day.
Delegates will
be able to gain practical knowledge on how they can apply this drug-free
practice to patients under their support and care.
