GOOD NATURE: THE SCIENCE BEHIND WHY NATURE IS GOOD FOR OUR HEALTH– Kathy Willis

Author talk and supper with Kathy Willis
6pm Thursday 19 February 2026

We know the benefits of eating your greens or getting your ‘five a day’. But what about all the other ways nature can help us lead healthier – and happier – lives? In this highly acclaimed, beautifully written book, Kathy Willis, Professor of Biodiversity at Oxford University, reveals the surprising science behind the natural world and how we can harness its benefits to improve our health – whether it’s gardening with your bare hands to boost your gut microbiome; the scent of roses to make you a calmer and safer driver; or tuning into birdsong to help reduce stress, and even pain.

Join Kathy, hosted by Isabella Tree, to learn about the wonders of nature’s effects on us and the simple steps we can take to bring those benefits into our homes, schools and workplaces.

There’ll plenty of time for audience Q&A and book signing, followed by a delicious three-course dinner in our Michelin-rated Wilding Kitchen.
