This qualitative pilot study was completed as an exploratory study of the meaning of gardening using attention restoration theory. Three women with breast cancer who garden for leisure were recruited from a cancer support group. Each participant was interviewed at her home on two occasions. To complement the qualitative data, participants also completed the Perceived Restorativeness Scale (PRS) (Hartig, Korpela, Evans, & Garling, 1996). The interviews revealed six major themes some of which were concerned with the interactions between the gardener and the garden, and others which focused on gardening within the context of having cancer. The qualitative and quantitative outcomes supported the perspective of attention restoration theory. Spirituality was interwoven throughout the comments of two participants but was less important for one participant. The implications of this study for practice and future research are discussed.
