Oliver Sacks on the (literal) healing power of gardens

Neurologist Oliver Sacks says that nature not only feels restorative, it actually is – literally restoring some function to neurologically impaired patients.

The naturalist John Muir would not have been surprised: “we are creatures enmeshed with the great web of being, in which, when we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe”.

We’re lucky that the Paper Giant office is so close to the river, so if I’m ever feeling stressed out or just need a reset I’ll go for a riverside walk.
