Effects of Horticultural Activities Program Focusing on Four-season Ornamental Rooftop Garden to be Released on Preschoolers’ Creative Thinking

Urban Farm DB summary

This study investigated the effect of a 15-week horticultural activity program using a four-season ornamental rooftop garden on the mental development and intelligence quotient (IQ) of 47 preschoolers (26 experimental, 21 control) from May to September 2013. Both groups showed significant improvement in mental development, with the experimental group showing greater improvement. While IQ also improved in both groups, the change was not statistically significant, possibly due to the study's duration.
