Greenery promotes mental development in primary-aged children, study suggests | Horticulture Week

Greenery promotes mental development in primary-aged children, study suggests | Horticulture Week: The research was reported in the USA journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It found "an improvement in cognitive development associated with surrounding greenness, particularly with greenness at schools".
