Sue Stuart-Smith, a prominent psychiatrist and psychotherapist. Her book,
The Well Gardened Mind was published in 2020 and became a Sunday
Times bestseller. She is married to Tom Stuart-Smith, the celebrated garden
designer, and, over thirty years together, they have created the wonderful

We talk to Sue about what nature brings us in times of challenge and darkness – a sense of hope, of space away from our problems, and a chance to reframe, as well as the well-being benefits. Sue talks about her journey into gardening through growing herbs and how she found herself creating a place of peace, a place for nature connectedness, and a chance to renew and refill her energy. And why encouraging children to get out in nature is so important for their wellbeing.
