There’s no better stress reliever than to play in the dirt! I have often taken for granted my ability to move through my gardens easily. Oh maybe my knees give me a little trouble now and then, but I can bend down and pluck a weed or snip a flower with ease. Other gardeners can’t.
Gene Rothert, the author of The Enabling Garden, is the Director Emeritus at the Chicago Botanic Garden and his book is a fantastic resource for those looking to make gardening easier for themselves or loved ones. I’ve linked you to a site called Disabled World that takes you directly to helpful garden tools for those less able.
There’s a table top method of gardening where you buy a bag of quality garden soil, lay it on a table, cut holes in the bag and plant! Of course they need to be shallow rooted plants like marigolds, geraniums and herbs.
Carry On Gardening is a great website from the UK that is loaded with information. Check them out. Also check out the tab on my front page that says “Enabling Garden” for much more information!!!
