Our project aim was born from a desire to create a partnership between artists/designers, mental health charities, and community gardens. As a diverse group of students, we were uniquely placed to take a broad vision of the relationship between gardening and mental well-being.
Each student approached the project through the lens of their particular practice ultimately creating a broad record of the relationship between cultivated plants and the individual. This journey was recorded over the space of a few months.
The conclusions we came up with individually and as a group can now serve as a source for artists/designers, mental health charities, and community gardens bringing these disciplines closer together within the central theme of improving mental well-being.
