The musician, whose real name is Stephen Manderson, said: ‘I know only too well how hard and hopeless it can feel when you suffer from anxiety and depression.
‘I’m opening this garden at RHS Chelsea Flower Show because if being out in a garden helps people feel better or takes their mind off their worries, then that has to be a good thing.’
After the flower show, the garden will live on at Camden and Islington (C&I) NHS Foundation Trust.
Professor Green added: ‘I think the Chelsea garden living on at the Camden and Islington mental health trust is a great project that will be of real benefit to both the patients, and also the staff who work there.
‘I love my own garden and the more time people spend close to nature, away from phones and general pressure of life, the better we’ll all feel.’
