Hear, hear …

… Opinion | Oliver Sacks: The Healing Power of Gardens - The New York Times. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

I cannot say exactly how nature exerts its calming and organizing effects on our brains, but I have seen in my patients the restorative and healing powers of nature and gardens, even for those who are deeply disabled neurologically. In many cases, gardens and nature are more powerful than any medication.
My city garden is very small, but even a small garden takes a lot of work to maintain. It is work that I love and I have been doing a lot of it lately. By next week I hope to have all the spring cleaning done and all the plants in.
