Love it! A must-read for anyone learning or interested in Environmental Psychology. Definitely a book that is way ahead of its time.

For the experienced gardener (AKA not me), a great reference text on applying the principles of feng shui, color therapy, herbalism and aromatherapy in the garden. Beautiful photography and illustrations. But before I can make much use of this text, I will need a more practical, elementary guidebook and probably, let's say, 10 years of gardening experience.

This book goes into a lot of detail on the various types of approaches to horticultural healing: aromatherapy, colour therapy, feng shui etc. and some of the discussion of energy lines and so on was a little much for me, but it has extensive lists of plants for each section and so is a useful reference that way.

This was a book ahead of its time, written some 15yrs a go now.
The book takes a limited look at techniques involved in the development of landscapes which facilitate the healing and well-being.
If you can get a copy its well worth a read - I have two :)as a starting point in designing healing landscapes.
