The retired elders who are in their 60s and 70s are easily the
most affectionate and emotional to their garden. The benefits of garden can be
discovered in workplace settings. Professor Fjeld’s study shows that an inclusion of
green plants in offices and work environment has resulted in 5-15% reduction in
absenteeism. Another study by Professor Lohr has demonstrated that plants inside
classrooms reduce the stress level and 12% increase in productivity of students.
