Summary

This study looked at whether gardening activities (horticultural therapy) can reduce loneliness and improve life satisfaction in older adults living in nursing homes. 54 people aged 60 and older took part. The therapy involved hands-on gardening to encourage social interaction and a sense of purpose. The goal was to see if this nature-based activity could boost emotional well-being.
