Green Space Exposure

Green space exposure is time in parks, tree-lined streets, or gardens that lowers perceived stress and supports attention restoration in research—brief counts. Even twenty minutes several times a week beats waiting for a wilderness trip.
Pair walks with phone-down rules so cognitive load actually drops.
Common questions
-
How much green space is enough?
Studies often find benefits from roughly 120 minutes per week split across days. City parks and tree-lined blocks count—you do not need remote forest.
-
Does indoor greenery count?
Plants may calm mood modestly but do not fully replace outdoor light, air, and walking. Use indoor plants as a supplement, not the whole dose.
