Searching for green in a concrete world

Kwesia X grew up in urban London - when things got tough, she found peace in the natural world.

Kwesia X grew up in south east London, surrounded by busy roads and tower blocks. When faced with tragedy and homelessness, she turned to nature to find peace. Now she's working hard to bring the experience of the natural world to young people in the city, and they're often amazed by the plants and creatures living in the concrete jungle. You can find her videos on her YouTube channel, City Girl in Nature.

Presenter: Jo Fidgen
