Our Need to Garden – exploring the psychology of why we love to garden
People who love gardening fulfil needs through gardening, but what are those needs and how are they fulfilled? Gain insight into the beliefs, feelings and behaviours that gardeners revealed when interviewed.
Gardening is not just what they do, but who they are. The research for this talk was conducted on gardeners who grew their own food.
