Title: Many thanks
Post by: Flighty on September 12, 2009, 16:49:07

to Dan for getting this up and running so quickly!
 
I'm sure that it'll be much appreciated by many here who either have problems themselves, or have family who do.

I'm beginning to get arthritis in my hands so look forward to reading about any suggestions that make gardening easier.

Elvis they certainly know that I support them by showing their website link both here, and on my blog.
When I next contact them I'll tell them that they've had a few mentions here, and include the links for them to look at.

This section is going to be very helpfull to many of us.
Also i do not know of any other site that has been so generous about the space for Disabled gardening.
I can hardly walk now, so this will be a great help with tips & some good advice.  My husband does an awfull lot to make our huge garden look beautifull, he is begining to struggle also so any ideas would be very helpfull. ;D ;D.

Here's an Idea for you Buds! 8)  You could always move to another place with a smaller more easy to manage garden.....  ;) ;D

Thanks Dan. I don't have any mobility probs etc, but I know a lot of peeps who do, so this will be a good place to check into to pick up on others' Top Tips to pass on.

well done Dan the Man!!
I have recently helped in the 'applying for funding' stage of a community based gardening project, with a brief to include gardening areas for disabled use. any more ideas for planning for disabled / differently gifted use would be great!
