Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study conducted in Melbourne followed over 2,000 adults for five years. Researchers found that people living within 300 meters of a park or garden reported significantly lower levels of stress and anxiety. Interestingly, the size of the green space mattered less than its accessibility. Even small community gardens had a positive effect, especially for residents who visited them at least once a week. The study also noted that the benefits were stronger for younger adults under 30, while older participants showed less variation. So, the key takeaway is that proximity and regular use are more important than sheer size.
