Digging, growing, healing

In this episode of Volunteering Discovery we meet members of the Family Action ESCAPE Project. We hear how getting involved at their community allotment offers the opportunity not only to learn about horticulture and take care of the plants, but also make connections in the community, encouraging personal growth and healing.
