Actionable information and climate change awareness drive consumer selection of environmentally beneficial garden plants
Information on favourable plant traits changed participants’ plant selection. • Climate change concern promotes pro-environmental plant choices. • Plant recommendations and climate change knowledge impacted garden plant selection.

‘Blossom Buddies’ − How do flower colour combinations affect emotional response and influence therapeutic landscape design
Natural landscapes are linked to health and well-being outcomes. This research investigated emotional responses to colour in the landscape. An online questionnaire (with 715 respondents) was employed to capture participants' preferences and positive psychological reactions to key flower colours and combinations. Images were created using combinations of pansy flowers in various colours. Flower combinations explored the effects of complementary, a…
The insidious poisons of plutocracy and the distorted democracy of parliaments”
With views ranging from neo-Jacobitism to fascism, Herbert Vivian was one of the most controversial political figures in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Britain. He was also a prolific travel writer, authoring seven books between 1897 and 1936. This article considers Vivian’s travel narratives about Serbia, Servia: The Poor Man’s Paradise (1897) and The Servian Tragedy (1904), and argues that his legitimist disenchantment with the cou…

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about unprecedented changes to human lifestyles across the world. The virus and associated social restriction measures have been linked to an increase in mental health conditions. A considerable body of evidence shows that spending time in and engaging with nature can improve human health and wellbeing. Our study explores nature's role in supporting health during the COVID-19 pandemic. We created web-based questi…
Why garden? – Attitudes and the perceived health benefits of home gardening
Domestic (home) gardens provide opportunities for psychological and physical health benefits, yet these environments have received less attention in terms of their therapeutic value compared to other urban green spaces. This is despite their ubiquity and the popularity of gardening as a pastime. This research explored why residents engaged with gardening and the extent to which they recognised any health benefits from the activity. A questionnair…
Where the wild things are! Do urban green spaces with greater avian biodiversity promote more positive emotions in humans?
Urban green space can help mitigate the negative impacts of urban living and provide positive effects on citizens’ mood, health and well-being. Questions remain, however, as to whether all types of green space are equally beneficial, and if not, what landscape forms or key features optimise the desired benefits. For example, it has been cited that urban landscapes rich in wildlife (high biodiversity) may promote more positive emotions and enhance…
The good things in urban nature
Let Nature Be Thy Medicine
Prescribing nature-based health interventions (green prescribing)-such as therapeutic horticulture or conservation activities-is an emerging transdisciplinary strategy focussed on reducing noncommunicable diseases. However, little is known about the practice of, and socioecological constraints/opportunities associated with, green prescribing in the UK. Furthermore, the distribution of green prescribing has yet to be comprehensively mapped. In thi…
