Twelve years ago Sam suffered a head injury which left him with long term mental and physical health problems.

Struggling with the daily pain and its impact, he found unexpected comfort in the words of Monty Don. Listening to an audiobook where the renowned gardener spoke about the healing power of gardens and gardening struck a deep chord with Sam.

Now, working outdoors in the fresh air, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and the beauty of nature, Sam has found a space where he can truly be himself, a place where the pain feels a little lighter, and the world feels a little brighter.
