Jason's story

Jason lives with anxiety and depression and tells us that gardening supports his mental health.

In the last few years, Jason has become very passionate and knowledgeable about gardening and recognises the positive impact it has on his health and wellbeing.

Jason said, "I love rescuing my plants and spending that time seeing if I can try and revive them. Sometimes I will put plants to one side, give them some extra care and then I tend to find that they will bounce back - so sometimes I need to remember that I need to do that to myself to help my own mental health."
