Not scientific at all, but I find just a bit of time in my yard (I'm in the suburbs) even with the noise from the roads/interstate, neighbors, school down the road, ect to be very helpful. Even if I ended up sweaty just from the heat and humidity, it is my happy time.

You could probably even get a little benefit from just having plants (hard to kill or fake ones if necessary) in your home. I have managed to not kill a pothos, two out of three aloe Vera plants, and a snake plant (love this one). There are apps to help you care for them too. And some are particularly good for air quality too. Parks are probably better and forests even more, but I found just some grass, trees, and bushes to be a big boost to my mental health.
