A title that literally says it all. But if you want the abstract of the article, it's here:

Associations of time spent gardening with mental well being and life satisfaction in Mid-to-late adulthood

Even the abstract is longer than my attention span, but I do note this quote:

I have no idea what I would do without my garden. It is right out the back door and keeps me active and thinking. Getting my paws into the MM is wonderful.

Working in the soil is good for the heart and the soul. The article "Soil - The happy drug" says it is good for our health as well, and it is better than an anti-depressant.
