Therapeutic Gardening Resources

Here are some photos of the therapeutic garden on the Auraria Campus in Denver. Note the hard surfaces for wheelchairs, wide ledges for seated gardeners, raised beds for chair gardeners, and water sound features for non-sighted gardeners. Below are just a few resources for adaptive gardening tools. Next time I'll tell you how ordinary garden tools can be adapted using such common materials as pvc pipe and duct tape.
