WELLNESS GARDEN PROJECT
WELLNESS GARDEN PROJECT:
• Creates green spaces to help our environment
• Offers community events for to reconnect with nature & one another
• Improves Immunity: In 2007, University of Colorado neuroscientist Christopher Lowry, then working at Bristol University in England, made a startling discovery. He found that certain strains of harmless soil-borne Mycobacterium vaccae sharply stimulated the human immune system. It’s quite likely that exposure to soil bacteria plays an important role in developing a strong immune system
• Supports Brain Health: A study that followed people in their 60s and 70s for up to 16 years found that those who gardened regularly had a 36% lower risk of dementia than non-gardeners, even when a range of other health factors were taken into account
• Promotes Mental Wellness and improved mood: Mycobacterium vaccae, a harmless bacteria normally found in dirt, has been found to stimulate the immune system of mice and has also been found to boost the production of serotonin, a mood-regulating brain chemical.
