Alive and Kicking Episode 12

Clare visits a special garden at Bloom called ‘Grounded’ which has been designed by landscape architect Maeve O’Neill in collaboration with people living with or affected by mental illness and aims to reflect and aid conversations around mental health. Clare also asks if there is such a thing as a food 'nasty' what should you look for on food labels. Plus we meet Evan Scully, the Olympian trainer who also runs marathons and in the small print he has cystic fibrosis.
