Gardening for wellbeing - with JJ Chalmers

In this podcast episode, JJ discusses the mental health benefits of gardening and how, after working as a teacher in some deprived areas, he's observed that it could help more young people through tough times. Above all, he shares the joy that his garden gives him, sharing it with his young family and passing on to them his lifelong love of being outdoors.
