Have you ever wondered how green spaces can transform lives? In the latest episode of the Scotland Grows Show, we dive the world of therapeutic gardening with Chelsea Lowe, Head Gardener at Horatio’s Garden Scotland.

From her unique journey transitioning from filmmaking and photography to horticulture, we explore the lush landscapes of Horatio's Garden at the National Spinal Unit in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Glasgow, a therapeutic haven designed to offer patients a vibrant sanctuary for hope. 

Chelsea facilitates garden therapy for patients and their families, harnessing the power of nature for wellness, and leads the volunteer team to care for this gorgeous space, all while emphasising the importance of gardens in healthcare settings to positively impact people's lives.

Join us as we celebrate the beautiful intersection of horticulture and healing, and learn how green spaces can transform lives.

Welcome to the Scotland Grows Show, the podcast which celebrates everything that is good in Scottish gardening, as we join gardeners around the country to find out what grows well where they are, and pick up tips and stories along the way.
