Re: [ENABLED] Gardening for the Blind

Hi, I finally found the booklet I was looking for.  The Royal national
Institute for the Blind published a booklet _Gardening without Sight_  by
Kathleen Fleet, 1982.

I made a copy of a friend's copy, so I'm not sure of a source.  The address
for the RNIB in 1982 was

Royal National Institute for the Blind, 224 Great Portland St. , London  W1N 6AA
England

It has lots of good information and suggestions.
