This week's guest is Claire Vokins - horticulturalist, whisky expert and trustee of Veteran's Growth, a charity providing horticultural therapy for service personnel suffering with PTSD. We explored what horticultural therapy involves and how it can help with the particular challenges that decommissioned armed forces can face, and how nature-centred therapeutic pathways are becoming integrated into mainstream mental healthcare within the NHS. We also talked about Claire's wider work which focusses on why private garden designs too often need rehab after implementation, and how strategies for moving from unrealistic intensively-managed 'perfection' to lower-maintenance planting often provides a more climate-positive space for nature.
