During recent years, Sweden has faced an increasing number of people being out of work due to long-term sick leave. This has led to numerous investigations and official reports on behalf of the Swedish government, concerning the necessity of measures to be taken to improve the health situation in working life, and to improve the sick listing and the rehabilitation processes. It is becoming more and more common to look for activities outdoors or in nature in terms of restoration, health promotion or rehabilitation. Still there is no particular sect

http://www. hort. vt. edu/human/hihart. htm HUMAN ISSUES IN HORTICULTURE HortTechnology April/June 1992 2(2) Diane Relf, Professor, Horticulture, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The term horticulture is often defined as the science and art of growing fruits, vegetables, flowers or ornamental plants. It is researched and discussed at length within the context of horticulture as a science and technology focused on the role of horticulture in crop production (Tigchelaar and Foley, 1991). However it is critical that we look at the other side of horticulture -- the art of horticulture, and the role it plays in human well-being. Going to the dictionary, we see that horticulture is derived from the root words Hortus, a garden, and cultura for which the dictionary refers us to the word culture. Under culture we find: cultivation of the soil; the development, improvement or refinement of the mind, emotions, interests, manners, tastes, etc. ; the ideas, customs, skills,

The aim was to find out the features and issues that are common in sensory gardens. The data collection included interviews, behavioural observation, which was used in conjunction with affordance theory. Drawing on Moore and Cosco’s a

Raised beds – page Raised beds Raised beds are an attractive addition to a garden and offer practical advantages for all gardeners. However, as with any permanent garden feature, it’s worth considering a few key points when deciding whether or not raised beds are for you. What are the benefits of raised beds? • If the soil in your garden is poor, raised beds allow you to introduce an area of good quality soil where you can grow flowers and vegetables and get better results. • Beds at different levels add shape, form and focus to the garden and can make the whole design more interesting. You can even use higher raised beds to partly screen items like compost bins and sheds. • Raised beds can make gardening easier for people with disabilities. You can choose the height of the bed so that it helps you garden more comfortably standing up or sitting down. Higher beds can also offer support to people who have balance problems. What are the difficulties with raised beds?
