| dc.description.abstract | There is increasing awareness among researchers and health practitioners from high income countries about the
potential mental health benefits of participating in gardening activities and spending substantial time in green
spaces. However, this phenomenon is not well established in low- and middle-income countries. In this com mentary, we discuss the evidence base surrounding the potential mental health benefits of participating in
gardening activity and spending substantial time in a green space. We hope to stimulate discourse about
incorporating these activities into mental health prevention in low- and middle-income countries. | en_US |
