Gardener’s Question time x DIY SOS @ The Garden!

Did you catch us on Gardeners’ Question Time meets DIY SOS, recorded right here at the Garden? Kathy Clugston and Nick Knowles joined forces with panellists Ashley Edwards, Bethan Collerton and Bunny Guinness for this special episode, and we couldn’t be prouder to have welcomed them!

After the interviews, Nick and Ashley’s reflections said it all:

“A community has taken control of a space, and not just made it a garden but given a place for people to come for their mental health and physical wellbeing, to meet people, to deal with loneliness, to run classes… it’s just the most amazing thing.”

“It’s the power of plants to bring everybody together. You can sense the purpose in this place. As you’re walking around you can hear people laughing, you see children running around… people coming together to have a chat and a cup of tea!”

 “Quite often people say ‘I wish there was something like that in our area.’ Actually, go and do it. Get together a bunch of people, start a group and make things happen. You’ll be amazed what you can achieve.” 

We were delighted to share why we’re passionate about green spaces and nature connection and how they support our community’s mental and physical health and wellbeing. Putting Knowle on the map! 💚
