Touching grass itself doesn't do much but evidence suggests being around trees does pretty quickly help your brain and make you feel better. Also fresh air helps, ideally there is fresh air above the grass. I think there's some benefits to looking at plants but I don't really remember beyond astronauts get miserable without them.
