To mark Fascination of Plants Day and Mental Health Awareness Week, you can come to the Library's Archives Research Centre to see a selection of our holdings related to botany and plants.  You can either pop in for a short visit or stay longer to read some of our books to take a break from your studies or work. 

Pleasure reading and plants have been shown in research to help reduce stress. A study by Mindlab International at the University of Sussex found that reading for pleasure was able to reduce stress levels by 68%. Being around plants has also been shown to improve the levels of our stress hormone cortisol in our body.
