A Place to Heal
Beginning with a Healing Garden designed for the NHS, this project explores the healing ability of nature and plants. We took the bed out and spoke with people along the way about the benefits of nature, and how this can have some positive effects on mental health as well as physical health too. The photographs included here illustrate how our surroundings can affect our ability to heal.
