Campus community gardens and student health: A case study of a campus garden and student well-being

Urban Farm DB summary

A web-based survey of 76 undergraduate student volunteers at an urban university in the San Francisco Bay area explored the relationship between working at a campus community garden and student well-being. Bootstrap regression indicated that connectedness to nature and general health significantly predicted general well-being. The study suggests that campus natural spaces may contribute to student success and offer urban college students opportunities to engage with nature.
