Reduce Depression with Overlooked Activity.

Gardening has a powerful effect on mental health, reducing depression and anxiety while improving emotional well-being. Studies show that spending time in natural settings provides physical and psychological benefits, and gardening is a unique way to actively engage with green spaces. Gardening with others in a community garden can amplify the benefits, while creating a garden that activates the senses and incorporating other joyful elements can enhance the experience. Any garden, big or small, can aid mental health and boost the brain.
