Yeah, that was a really scary period of my life.
And at that point, I have to say, even my garden couldn't really entice me because I was just so low and so unmotivated.

Why is it important that we show health conditions like Parkinson's in creative ways like a garden?

When the Clouds and Flowers show is over, this garden will be moved to Oxford to a hospital that is a centre of excellence for neurology and will then be used on a daily basis by people with Parkinson's, by their families, by carers.
I just love the idea that over time this will be a haven for people.
How proud are you to be part of it?

It's ridiculous.
I'm sort of like a kid waiting for Christmas at the moment.
