Lawns and gardens act as calming spaces, reducing stress and promoting a sense of well-being. The therapeutic nature of green spaces is why many people gravitate towards parks and gardens for relaxation.
In addition, touching real grass increases relaxation, comfort, and a sense of naturalness while decreasing anxiety levels.
Australian researchers have discovered that when grass is cut, it releases chemicals that make people feel happy and relaxed. What's more, it even can help prevent the mental decline of old age.
Lawns and exposure to natural outdoor greenery can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, reduce muscle tension, improve attention and increase feelings of happiness and serenity.
