Watch: Jennifer Cordingley's report
A woman from the Borders says being part of her community garden has helped her cope with anxiety and depression after losing both her parents to Covid-19.
The group Abundant Borders have four gardens across the region where volunteers can learn how to grow their own vegetables.
Gail Patterson is a volunteer who has struggled with depression and anxiety. After losing both her parents this year, she has found getting close to nature a great comfort.
In March the project received over £100,000 in national lottery funding. They say the cash will help them grow after a tough year. The group want to expand the project, creating a training space to hold classes.
