A Mixed-Methods Explorative Study on Gardening and Wellbeing Among College Students

Community gardens provide nutritious and sufficient food and can contribute to wellbeing and health. Among school-age children, gardening programs promote positive social development (eg, relationship building) and improve academic performance. In older adults, community gardening improves emotional health and increases physical activity. A common outcome reported among both populations is improved overall wellbeing. However, research on the impact of gardening on college-aged young adults is scarce.
