Why Green Space Matters to Us

Science confirms what we’ve always known intuitively. Access to green space, even a small balcony garden, improves focus + cognitive abilities,  reduces cortisol, lowers anxiety, & increases wellbeing.   Children learn better near nature. Adults perform better. Pets thrive. And communities with abundant green space report higher levels of happiness. Regardless of income.
