An interview with Karen Birch, Chief Officer of Abundant Borders.

Abundant Borders believes that everyone, regardless of personal circumstances, should have access to healthy, nutritious food. They have set up seven community gardens across the Borders, and offer training in gardening and cooking.

We visit the Kelso Community Garden and discuss the history of the commons, the transformative nature of growing your own, and how gardening can be a form of revolution.
