Abstract
Asks if the tradition of therapeutic nature fits in today's social inclusion-oriented mental health service. Draws on recent in-depth ethnographic and interview work in two community gardening projects for people with mental health problems, one in Nottingham (Ecoworks) and one in Glasgow (the Coach House Trust), to explore how historical themes about the curative powers of nature connect with today's debates about recovery, purposeful employment and social inclusion.
