S5 E 1 Joshua Ruff Near death experience

In this episode I talked to Joshua Ruff who was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. His life is an inspiration to us all.

Joshua Ruff,

With everything I do, at the root of it is to find a way to give back and inspire to my younger self. It would’ve been great to see others like myself in similar life experiences achieving and making dreams a reality.

Henle Gardens provides a calming space for me to gather my thoughts and to find peace and tranquility. Throughout the many seasons of my own life gardens and gardening has given me a sense of solace to find comfort and acceptance with what life throws at me. I’ve come to learn valuable lessons and to find true meaning. It’s actually quite fitting for the next Castlemaine & District Festival of Gardens 2026 to take on the theme “The Solace Of Gardening”.

I had a cardiac arrest and was in a coma for three days, recovery was tough, relearning to talk, eat, and drink. With family help, I was able to come up with a design of the garden and the family helped me create it.“It gave me a lot of hope and motivation to push myself to get out of hospital and make this dream come true,”
