Some Neat Resources

You all got me thinking, so I did a little research. Here are some sites with great ideas on gardening with disabilities. There are some great sites out there! Some sites are geared toward those who are trained to provide horticultural therapy, others offer products to make gardening more accessible, and others are just from the perspective of gardeners with disabilities.

American Horticultural Therapy Association: http://www.ahta.org/index.html

Horticulture for All: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Jane_Stoneham/

This is a commercial site, but they have some good ideas for raised beds and such: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1243587898
