Helping with garden research at LSE

Camilla Royale is a university researcher at LSE (London School of Economics) and a grower. She and her colleague are studying the relation between gardening and well-being (not assuming that is helpful). She is wishing to interview gardeners on this topic. I have met with her to discuss the issues and she is very sweet.
"We
are both keen gardeners and are interested to hear people’s thoughts on
whether gardening is good for wellbeing and the impact
of any environmental activities. If you have a garden could we visit
and ask you some general questions about what you like (or don’t like)
about gardening? This would be incredibly helpful to us.
It would take about 30-60 minutes and could be arranged at a time
convenient to you. Our project is approved by the university’s ethics
committee."

Admittedly, if the project wishes to cover the UK as such, that could take quite some time.
I think there are a couple of threads on this forum which attempt to cover this subject and it probably crops up on other gardening forums too. I'd think that may be a good way to start ?
Camilla says she can travel to the south-west and south of England, the east, the Midlands, up to about Manchester, and to Wales. Good that Zoom is an option too.
