SUMMARY:Nature Heals
DESCRIPTION:Nature Heals\nThe biophilia hypothesis describes how humans are innately linked to nature and other forms of life. Gardeners know this feeling from how they approach the garden and why they are drawn towards working with plants. We will explore where this intrinsic draw came from through the science behind humans and nature. And we finish with how to use nature\, and gardening to improve health and well-being.
