Huge a tree for your health!

From OrganicGardening.com

Researchers in the UK have discovered that access to green spaces helps people live longer, healthier lives. From a study conducted at the University of Glasgow researchers concluded that, despite a substantial health gap between the poor and wealthy, access to open spaces cut the health gap in half. Access to green spaces offers more opportunities for physical activity, relaxation to reduce stress and increases air quality.
Just as important - access to green spaces increases our appreciation for and awareness of nature.
