Pennie Latin and the Kitchen Garden team pay a visit to the Murray Royal Hospital gardens. This beautiful and serene gardens and cafe have become a place of therapy and growth for its staff. The Perth and Kinross Association of Voluntary Service have volunteers who work in the walled garden and in the café. Many have been suffering with mental health problems. Pennie catches up with one of the volunteers to find out how his life has improved. She also talks to George the Manager of PKAVS and Alasdair the gardener. Whilst Dan Holland asks Chef Kenny, 'what's on the café menu?'
We will also hear from Jenny in Perth, and Mary in Kingussie; both work for Trellis, a charity providing gardening and growing support for people with learning disabilities and dementia. All of this plus gardening expert Nicola Singleton tells us what we need to be tending to in the garden this fortnight. Show less
