COVID-19疫情严重扰乱了社会生活。在大流行期间，花园和庭院似乎上升为生命线。在这里，我们调查了COVID-19大流行期间人与园艺之间的关系，以及哪些因素影响了人们的园艺能力。我们研究了来自园丁的调查回复（n = 3，743），他们报告了疫情如何影响了园艺的个人动机和他们对花园的使用，以及与疫情相关的挑战，例如第一波COVID-19（2020年5月至8月）期间的食物获取。结果表明，对于受访者来说，园艺对于自然联系，个人压力释放，户外体育活动和食物供应非常重要。粮食供应和经济安全对于那些因这一流行病而面临更大困难的人也很重要。虽然有关园艺的文献长期以来一直表明园艺的多种益处，但我们在全球大流行期间报告了这些益处。需要更多的研究来捕捉公众情绪和实践的变化-包括那些很少园艺的人，获得土地的机会较少，以及居住在低收入社区，特别是在全球南部。尽管如此，我们认为园艺可以成为一种公共卫生策略，随时可以提高社会对干扰的适应力。
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely disrupted social life. Gardens and yards have seemingly risen as a lifeline during the pandemic. Here, we investigated the relationship between people and gardening during the COVID-19 pandemic and what factors influenced the ability of people to garden. We examined survey responses (n = 3,743) from gardeners who reported how the pandemic had affected personal motivations to garden and their use of their gardens, alongside pandemic-related challenges, such as food access during the first wave of COVID-19 (May-Aug 2020). The results show that for the respondents, gardening was overwhelmingly important for nature connection, individual stress release, outdoor physical activity and food provision. The importance of food provision and economic security were also important for those facing greater hardships from the pandemic. While the literature on gardening has long shown the multiple benefits of gardening, we report on these benefits during a global pandemic. More research is needed to capture variations in public sentiment and practice – including those who do little gardening, have less access to land, and reside in low-income communities particularly in the global south. Nevertheless, we argue that gardening can be a public health strategy, readily accessible to boost societal resilience to disturbances.
