All children, ADD or otherwise, will benefit from time spent in the garden or other natural places. Grownups too!

oh absolutley. childhood was meant to be a time of learning in preparation for life. chillins` are supposed to be outside in feild are in the woods running totally ape wild, that`s how they learn about things such as birds, trees, animals, how to get along with others, the world around them, and the world and people in general. this is where and how they learn lessons that build self-esteem and gain emotional stability, etc., etc. children naturally have alot of energy, and the reason for that is so they will be active and inquisitive enough to learn and experience and grow up healthy (mentally and physically), happy, well and wise and maybe productive.it is very unatural for kids to sit in the house all day in front of the tv zapping space monsters on video games eating a bag of chips and drinking a soda for entertainment, then when they get rowdy, drug them into a zombie and wonder why kids today have so many problems and can`t grow up and get there selves together. i know townfolk whose teenage kids can barely communicate with anyone outside the immediate family. about all you get is "uhm..duh..well you know" while standing there with their hands in their pockets looking down at the ground, acting totally uninterested in anything all-while shuffling and figeting nervously. they literally don`t know what to do with themselves or even how they are supposed to act. get outside where they can get dirty, tear their britches and skin their knees, they really do need it.
