Younger and younger people and families have gone in search
of their own garden in recent years. This trend intensified
further as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. While the
original purpose of gardening was self-­sufficiency, the idea
of promoting health has recently come to the fore.

Horticultural therapist Andreas Niepel reaches out to new,
young gardeners with this book. In a vivid and relaxed way, he
describes how gardening promotes positive emotions of
pleasure, vitality, improved self-esteem, social integration,
closeness to nature, well-­being, a sense of security and control as well as relaxation.
