Welcome
Thistlel,
I don't know where you are in Maine, but, I have a brother in Searsport
that did a lot of work with pari and quadriplegics at B.U.. I' ll
Forward this to him and see if he has any suggestions. Meanwhile have
you thought of plant stands? They can be built to and dimension that
suits your needs. I have back and neck problems and I learned a
valuable lesson. ASK for help. The kids in my neighborhood are having
a ball helping me do the things that are difficult for me and I'm
teaching them how to garden. I've contacted "PLANT-A-ROW" (par@gwaa)
they are so helpful. GWAA is the Garden Writers Association of America.
I'm sure the could be of assistance to you, besides what a great subject
to report on! Good Luck Rena
