  [32]1 Comment on Having A Garden Linked To Better Health And Well-Being
  In these trying times, having access to a garden is a top-tier
  blessing. A study has found that having a garden and spending time in
  it increases our sense of well-being.

  Linked To Better Health And Well-Being

  A garden does more than just soothes the eyes, and if you have access
  to one of your own, consider yourself fortunate.

  A new study at the University of Exeter and the Royal Horticultural
  Society has found that spending time in the garden is associated with
  sound health and higher psychological well-being. In fact, the health
  benefits one derives from spending time in it are similar to those seen
  among people living in the wealthiest parts of the country when
  compared with those in the poorer neighborhoods.

  “A growing body of evidence points to the health and wellbeing benefits
  of access to green or coastal spaces”, [33]explained Dr Sian de Bell,
  of the University of Exeter Medical School, and lead author of the
  study. “Our study is one of the largest to date to look at the benefits
  of gardens and gardening specifically. Our findings suggest that whilst
  being able to access an outdoor space such as a garden or yard is
  important, using that space is what really leads to benefits for health
  and wellbeing.”

  For the study, the team analyzed data from nearly 8,000 people
  collected between 2009 and 2016 by Natural England, a government
  organization that facilitates protection of England’s nature and
  landscapes. The researchers questioned the participants about their
  access to a domestic garden: their frequency of visit and purpose that
  is if they used it for gardening or simply for the sake of relaxation.
  They also asked about their engagement in an outdoor recreational
  activity during the past 12 months.

  Following the survey, the team also gauged the participants’ general
  health, their level of physical activity and measured their overall
  satisfaction with life.

  They found that the participants with access to a private garden
  reported general good health, increased psychological well-being and
  levels of physical activity compared to those who did not have a garden
  or outdoor space. Interestingly, they also found that those who tend to
  spend time in their garden were also more likely to visit parks and
  nature elsewhere once a week.

  Also, regardless of how they spent their time in garden, individuals
  with their healthy patch of greenery were found to be more contented
  with their lives compared to those without. Also those with an outdoor
  space such as a yard were also more likely to meet physical activity
  guidelines.

  “Gardens are a crucial way for people to access and experience the
  natural environment,” [34]said Dr Becca Lovell, project lead. “Our new
  evidence highlights that gardens may have a role as a public health
  resource and that we need to ensure that their benefit is available
  equally.”

  The study has been published in the journal [35]Landscape and Urban
  Planning.

      Just getting into gardening now in my part of the world. I bought
      my bedding plants yesterday, but still too cool to risk planting
      them. Perhaps on the weekend.
