Monty Don says there is "no hierarchy" when it comes to how gardening can boost mental health.

The Gardener's World presenter told 5 Live's Colin Murray that "investing hope and trust in the future of a plant", no matter what kind, can help people who are struggling.

"Human life is a mess," Monty said. "what this rhythm of the natural world does, it puts it in perspective."

Getting outside and witnessing the changing of the seasons can provide a sense of hope, Monty explained.

"Spring will come. Summer will come. The flowers will grow."
