Garden Heals Minds: Youth Mental Health Spotlight

0:00On April 19th, Gardener Trolley Chase is teaming up with young minds to build a special garden spotlighting the mental health struggles of young. Folks, it'll debut at the Chelsea Flower Show this May, then get relocated to Newham in East London as a community spot. The design tackles heavy pressures like too much screen time, the cost of living crunch and eco-anxiety that's weighing kids down these days. An 18-year-old named Yash from Tooting shared how nature helps him chill out amid all the chaos from global conflicts and money woes to school, stress like GCSEs and A levels. He says gardens let you connect inward, surrounded by colors, smells and peace. Everyone deals with this stuff differently, and Yash hopes the garden shines a light on mental health as a real issue while showing its brighter side. After the show, Chase Gardens will host sessions there to draw young people into horticulture, turning it into a hands-on escape that builds real. Skills in calm
