Health Benefits of Gardening

Health Benefits of Gardening

To educate community members on the health benefits of gardening, MGEVs teach the value of the interior and exterior landscape for human health, well-being, and quality of life. MGEVs transfer knowledge and skills to intended audiences so that they might utilize this information for personal health and a healthier workplace and community. MGEVs accomplish this through projects like horticultural therapy programs at hospitals and community gardens that provide fresh produce in food desert areas.
