Gardening in wheelchair

How wonderful for you Annie if you can could you ask a neighbour or friend to bring you a couple (or more) the tall planters you can buy at B&M they are only about £3 each if that they would enable you to pour the compost from your wheel chair and plant your seedling they also let you water the plants easily,I have 4 outside my bungalow window which are ready for replanting soon.

Do you know of Mark Lane Anniebach? He's a great presenter on Gardeners' World who gardens from a wheelchair. He's always full of good ideas and did a brilliant article last season about getting the right tools, pots and stuff. I have tried to find it without success but you might have more luck.

Also, I have a friend who works for this amazing charity www.thrive.org.uk/. They run courses, provide help and tools and I think they help people apply for grants to adapt their gardens and get the right kit.

I'm so looking forward to some warmer weather and drier soil so I can get out on my garden. Hope you enjoy yours this coming season.

Oh Anniebach, have just seen your post. Great news about your wheelchair, and I hope you can make good use of it.
Sorry, no hints or tips for you about wheelchair gardening, no doubt someone will be along soon with some.
Happy times ahead for you. ?

Mark Lane, one of the Gardeners World presenters, gardens from a wheelchair, Annie. I don’t think he’s written any books but there’s plenty of stuff about him online.

Raised beds and tall pots are the answer and there are plenty of tools available these days to make life easier.

Gardening is so good for physical and mental health. Now all we need is some warm weather.

Hope you enjoy it.
