How Gardening Makes You Happy and Satisfied
by Andreas Niepel
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.

Gardens (descriptions, history etc)February 2017The factory in a garden
A history of corporate landscapes from the industrial to the digital age
by Helena Chance. Series edited by Christopher Breward
When we think about Victorian factories, 'Dark Satanic Mills' might spring to mind - images of blackened buildings and exhausted, exploited workers struggling in unhealthy and ungodly conditions. But for some employees this image was far from the truth, and this is the subject of 'The Factory in a Garden' which traces the history of a factory gardens movement from its late-eighteenth century beginnings in Britain to its twenty-first century equivalent in Google's vegetable gardens at their headquarters in California. The book is the first study of its kind examining the development of parks, gardens, and outdoor leisure facilities for factories in Britain and America as a model for the reshaping of the corporate environment in the twenty-first century. This is also the first book to give a comprehensive account of the contribution of gardens, gardening and recreation to the history of responsible capitalism and ethical working practices.
