Description: The Able Gardener: Overcoming Barriers of Age & Physical Limitations Discusses the special needs of elderly and handicapped gardeners, looks at raised beds, automatic watering systems, and useful tools, and suggests a variety of practical garden designs. This is an excellent gardening book for many audiences. Written with a special focus and many practical tips for elderly and disabled gardeners, it also could be applicable for gardening with children, gardening with limited time or space, and safety in gardening. Yeomans, who has a background in nursing and physical therapy, strikes the perfect balance between a basic gardening book and a horticultural therapy book. While covering basics such as soils, seeds, garden design, and pests, she also discusses gardening with arthritis, bad backs, or other handicaps; barrier-free design; container gardening; special tools; raised beds; simple planting techniques; and even easy ways to turn a compost heap. The book's design complements Yeomans's theme, with easy-to-read type and lie-flat binding. Yeomans also lists professional organizations, useful mail-order sources, and measurements for barrier-free design.
