This pamphlet presents some innovative thoughts and |
|
suggestions to make gardening an "accessible" activity |
|
for any gardener, able-bodied or disabled. For gardeners |
|
with special needs, workability of the garden must take |
|
precedence over a conventional garden design. Designs to |
|
consider include raised bed gardens, garden containers |
|
such as whiskey barrels and drainage pipes, and |
|
commercial garden containers. Deciding what to plant |
|
requires consideration of the size of the garden, amount |
|
of time available, location, personal taste, and ability |
|
to harvest and store produce. Tools can be matched to |
|
specific needs, such as tools appropriate for use from a |
|
seated or kneeling position, tools for people who find it |
|
painful or impossible to bend, tools for use by one- |
|
handed gardeners, and tools for those who have a weak |
|
grasp or limited dexterity. Suggestions are offered for |
|
protecting body posture and for adapting available tools. |
|
Twenty-four sources for special tools are listed. (14 |
|
references) (JDD) |
