Description

Oxford professor Kathy Willis has spent her career researching fossilised plants and plant matter – but when she stumbled across a study that showed that patients recovering from surgery improved faster just by being able to see trees from their hospital bed, it radically changed the way she viewed the natural world. Professor Willis has since embarked on a process of discovery to find the research that has shown, time and time again, that there is a causal link between plants in our lives, both indoors and outside, and better physical and mental health. Focusing on how we interact with nature through the senses of sight, smell, hearing and touch, ‘Good Nature’ explains how we can organise our homes, our time outdoors and the world around us to reap the health benefits of nature that science is only now just discovering.
