We all know that gardens can nurture people and the planet, and many of us set out to create spaces to bring these benefits into people’s lives.

Debbie Carroll's award-winning study cuts through these and many other myths to help ensure the efforts going into in creating these valuable spaces results in an actively used garden long after you have left.
