Work has started to transform Duchy of Cornwall land in Newquay into a community garden.

Newquay Community Orchard will include an allotment, cafe and a five acre Cornish apple orchard.

Those behind the project say it'll help people back to work and back to health.

Rather than sitting at home and waiting for a job I'm going out and doing something I can say to employers that I am actually volunteering in the community it makes me feel good.
