Marie Curie, October 2017
A new joint campaign between Marie Curie, the UK’s leading terminal illness charity, and the National Garden Scheme, launches this week. The campaign, ‘The Good of Gardening’, aims to highlight the therapeutic potential of gardening for people living with terminal illnesses, and their families.
It follows a report published last year by the King’s Fund, and commissioned by the National Garden Scheme, that summarised research evidence linking gardens and gardening to a range of physical and psychological wellbeing benefits.
