While there are many ways for older adults to stay active, maintain mental well-being and engage with others, one hobby stands out for its simplicity and accessibility.
Gardening.
A new study from Mather Institute shows evidence that gardening supports older adults’ physical and psychosocial well-being, while also offering insights into how more people can participate. One key finding from the online survey of more than 2,000 adults 55 and older is how much physical activity gardeners get, according to Mather Institute.
