Join The Garden Museum online at 7 PM GMT (3 pm Eastern) on May 13 to mark Mental Health Awareness Week (12-18 May 2025) as we host a panel of speakers to explore a range of personal and professional experiences that demonstrate how gardening positively impacts us.
To those of us who garden and spend time in green space, the positive effects on emotional and mental wellbeing are undeniably clear. Published research articles make clear links between gardening’s ability to support social relationships, moderate stress, reduce anxiety and depression, and improve cognitive function.
Chaired by Victoria Valentine, speakers including psychiatrist and psychotherapist Sue Stuart-Smith, Co-Founder of The Glasshouse, Kali Hamerton-Stove, Specialist Horticultural Instructor at Bethlem Royal Hospital, Sergio Ruano Heredero, and food writer, cook and vegetable grower Kathy Slack will reflect on how gardening positively impacts us all.
