Feeling low? Grab a trowel. This week James Alexander-Sinclair and Joe Swift explore the deep connection between gardening and wellbeing. From mud therapy to mindful planting, they share personal stories of how gardens have helped them through tough times, discuss the NHS’s ‘green prescriptions’, and remind us that no garden is ever wrong if it makes you feel better.
