  • City Growing with Tayshan Hayden-Smith

    City Growing with Tayshan Hayden-Smith
    Jun 27 2024
    Ex-professional footballer Tayshan Hayden-Smith turned to the healing power of nature after the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy in 2017. Since then, he’s been on a journey to bring access to nature to all. He shows ranger Kate Martin around his local community garden and together they see that a garden can be anywhere and anything.

    Later Kate heads to the National Trust’s Sutton House to see the garden they’ve created out of an old car scrapyard and learns how to grow in small and unusual spaces.

  • My Dog Walked Saved Me | A Mental Health Journey

    My Dog Walked Saved Me | A Mental Health Journey
    May 23 2024
    When one man set off on a walk around the UK coast, little did he know that adopting a rescue dog would change the course of his life.

    Christian Lewis was at rock bottom when he embarked on a journey that would last 6 years, but it was ‘Jet’ and the power of nature, that would piece him back together to lead him onto a life that would otherwise have been unimaginable for this army veteran.
