And got to wondering if we have anything like it in the UK

I'm sure I've seen a programme about some sort of gardening therapy for
ex-military personnel, but can't now remember any details.


The have been some on the Forces TV channel where ex-service people do a
"DIY SOS" type program. They have constructed gardens for charities
offering therapeutic therapy for ex-veterans in the UK.

The program is a DIY SOS type rip off where they repeatedly remind the
viewer that the core workers, all being ex-service, are far superior to
their civilian counterparts.
