Stephen Fry hails it as "the wisest book I've read in years", lauding it as far more than a mere gardening guide or mental health manual. This Sunday Times bestseller, recognised as a top pick by The Times and Sunday Times in 2020, delves into the profound connection between horticulture and mental wellbeing.

Sue Stuart-Smith's "The Well Gardened Mind: Rediscovering Nature in the Modern World" explores the intriguing question: How can tending to plants alleviate stress and bolster our psychological health? What secrets lie within nature's restorative embrace?

This captivating work weaves together cutting-edge neuroscience, psychoanalysis, and masterful storytelling to unravel the mystery that gardeners have long intuited - that working in harmony with nature can profoundly transform our mental state, overall wellbeing, and self-assurance.

Through enlightening tales of individuals grappling with stress, depression, trauma, and addiction, this sage and inspiring tome - now available in fifteen languages - illuminates how our comprehension of nature's healing properties is only beginning to blossom. It stands as a testament to the burgeoning field of nature's impact on human psychology.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
