Britney Spears has a new addiction — gardening.

The singer — who is currently in the middle of her Circus world tour — has become devoted to a self-help program called flower therapy.

“Britney has tried every kind of therapy going,” a source tells The Sun. “She’s studied yoga, seen numerous counselors and even experimented with mysticism, but they’ve never been more than passing fads.

“This time seems different though. She’s committed to learning as much as she can about horticulture and how it impacts your well-being.

“Whenever she returns to her California home she’s straight out in the garden working. She’s proud and knowledgeable about what she’s planted and what is growing around her house.”

Spears — who had a series of breakdowns in 2007 and was twice sectioned the following year — has become a devotee of the self-help manual Chicken Soup For The Gardener’s Soul, by American lifestyle guru Jack Canfield.

“That has given her a lot of solace,” the source added.
