Sue Stuart-Smith, The Well-Gardened Mind: The Restorative Power of Nature <\/em>(Scribner, 2020).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will be meeting to discuss chapters three and nine from Sue Stuart-Smith\u2019s The Well-Gardened Mind<\/em> ahead of her talk on the 17th June at 5pm. As suggested, we will meet in real life at Cambridge University Botanic Gardens. Those attending will need to book a place<\/a> in advance to visit the garden. The garden is vast, so we suggest that we meet close to the Station Road Entrance, near the picnic tables before the junction of paths which lead into the garden proper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
