"It started out as a kind of therapy - gardening & nature helped distract me when life felt on the edge and then, thanks to the team @loveyourgarden, I took it a step further & turned our garden into a beautiful factory for physical healing too.
"They even helped me carry Derek outside so he could see the fruits of our labour too - a very emotional moment. I really hope you feel inspired & comforted by the programme - do let me know!!! #gardeninglife #hope #heal"
