"It almost became like a sanctuary during lockdown" - we take a trip to the Par Bay Community Garden

At one point, it's fair to say it was a bit of a wilderness.

But after 30 volunteers spent more than 400 hours digging, drilling and dowsing, a patch of neglected land in a village near St Austell had been transformed into a beautiful space for community gardening.

And years after its creation, Par Bay Community Garden has become a hub for everything from sunflower competitions to birthday celebrations.

Our weekend presenter Jack Murley has been to find out more.
