Celebrate Earth Day with an Accessible Garden

Wednesday, April 22, is Earth Day. One way you can commemorate that day is starting an accessible garden. This type of garden is elevated so you can have access to it with your walker or wheelchair. One example is a U-shaped garden bed that rests on a table. There is also a rolling garden that can be moved outdoors or indoors as needed. To decide what to plant in your garden, you should do research on which flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables grow best in your geographic region. Gardening can be a fun and relaxing way to spend time in nature; it helps some people deal with illness or depression. Watching plants bloom gives one a sense of accomplishment.
