In episode 50 of the Green & Healthy Places podcast I’m in the UK talking to Dr. Lauriane Chalmin-Pui, a Wellbeing Fellow at the Royal Horticultural Society - the UK’s leading gardening charity.
Lauriane completed her PHD at Sheffield University where she conducted research on how domestic gardens can support physical and mental health via exposure to plants and wildlife.
In our conversation we discuss wellbeing gardens, also known as healing gardens; planet-friendly gardening; environmental psychology as it relates to gardens; the emotional, physical and social benefits of gardening; the benefits for our microbiota of direct exposure to soil and earth, as well as her forthcoming research publication on the role a garden’s colours and scents can play in positive impacting human wellbeing.
