Horticulture Therapy is a growing field, and research continues to support its positive effect on various populations of people. In addition to promoting a healthier physical environment for Fort Collins residents, this project has the potential of creating a' healthier human environment. The environmental benefits of the projects are numerous. This project reduces the transport of food from places like South America and California to Fort Collins. Having fresh vegetables and herbs available to them, residents will require less store bought food. Reducing the transportation of produce conventionally grown and sold in grocery stores reduces the amount of carbon dioxide being produced. _ Even at this small scale, increasing the amount and diversity of food that is grown and consumed locally impacts the City's quality of life.
