Why not welcome in the spring with some seed sowing and growing, either in your garden or in a grow box on your windowsill!
Bodmin Life took some top tips on seasonal seeds from Bella Bown, horticulture and art therapist, who for the last nine months has been caring for the intoBodmin garden with her team of volunteers.
