<p>In episode 50 of the Green & Healthy Places podcast I’m in the UK talking to Dr. Lauriane Chalmin-Pui, a Wellbeing Fellow at the Royal Horticultural Society - the UK’s leading gardening charity. </p><p>Lauriane completed her PHD at Sheffield University where she conducted research on how domestic gardens can support physical and mental health via exposure to plants and wildlife.</p><p>In our conversation we discuss wellbeing gardens, also known as healing gardens; planet-friendly gardening; environmental psychology as it relates to gardens; the emotional, physical and social benefits of gardening; the benefits for our microbiota of direct exposure to soil and earth, as well as her forthcoming research publication on the role a garden’s colours and scents can play in positive impacting human wellbeing.</p><p> </p><p>GUEST / DR.
