Tending to Our Roots to Increase Our Wellness (TRIOWell): A Community Gardening Intervention
Canton’s eight-week project will examine the impact of a community gardening intervention on physical activity levels and psychological well-being among middle-aged African American women. Participants will garden with a horticultural educator and attend educational workshops that cover culturally relevant topics, including the history of gardening among African Americans and environmental activism among African Americans. Canton hypothesizes that gardening sessions and workshops will positively influence adherence to the intervention.
