Summary

This study tested whether a 24-week urban farming program could improve wellbeing for adults aged 50 to 85. Researchers compared 137 participants who took weekly gardening classes to a similar group who did not, measuring stress, quality of life, and social connection. The goal was to see if hands-on activities like planting and harvesting could be a practical way to support mental and physical health in later life.
