What are the benefits of community gardens?

The positive impact of nature on our mental health is well documented, even during the colder winter months. With lots of areas of land across the UK lying derelict or unwanted, some communities are coming together to turn these abandoned spaces into beautiful green havens that can be enjoyed by everyone. Our gardener Mark Lane meets one community garden that was the result of 38 neighbours coming together and getting involved. We also hear from Victoria Holden, who was the winner of the 2024 One Show and Royal Horticultural Society and find out how people can begin the process of creating a little plot of paradise where they live.
