Re: Gardening for disabled/elderly

Pertaining to the garden for the elderly. Please contact The American 
Horticultural Therapy Association. Afraid I do not have a contact person 
to hand, but for sure you can reach then through their web site. Same as 
the name provided, thank you.

Best regards,

There is a stellar example of a handicapped garden in Exton in the
