Accessible Gardening for People With Physical
Disabilities: A Guide to Methods, Tools, & Plants - Janeen R. Adil -
1995 Back Cover:
Is it possible to garden when you have a disability–when you
are in a wheelchair, use a walker, or have limited upper body strength?
Absolutely!
Accessible Gardening for People with Physical Disabilities provides
you–whether you are a veteran or first-time gardener age five or
eighty-five–with all the expertise and practical know-how necessary for
designing, planting, and maintaining a garden that suits your special needs.
And you will find dozens of specific mail-order sources for the tools,
seeds, plants, and other materials discussed.
Learn how to make your existing garden more accessible or how to
create a new one using raised beds, containers, or vertical gardens, with
the help of easy-to-follow instructions, schematic line drawings, and
photographs. From soil requirements to appropriate paving materials, from
measuring for planter boxes to selecting suitable tools and plants, the
author thoroughly describes the benefits and requirements for successful,
low-maintenance gardening in a variety of situations.
Tips for organic pest control, adapting "standard-issue" tools,
gardening with children with disabilities, as well as invaluable
descriptions and illustrations of many specialized tools and plants of all
types–including recommendations of specific species and cultivars–make this
a complete how-to guide.

The easiest gardening of all - letting Mother
Nature do the work. I'm so impressed with this book that I've listed it
under 3 categories to be sure you don't miss it.
Gaia's Garden - A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture - Toby Hemenway
- 2001
Back Cover:
Welcome to Paradise!
Imagine a garden filled with edible flowers, bursting with fruit
and berries, carpeted with scented herbs and tangy salad greens, all blended
in an eye-catching palette of color and texture. The flowers also nurture
endangered pollinators. Bright-feathered birds share the abundant berries
and gather twigs for their nearby nests. Each plant plays a role in building
soil, deterring pests, storing nutrients, and luring beneficial insects.
This is not a dream. This is your own backyard.
Gaia's Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture describes a
gardening system that combines the best features of wildlife habitat, edible
landscapes, and conventional flower and vegetable gardens into a
self-renewing landscape that lets nature do most of the work. Rather than
mastering your garden with gas-spewing rototillers and chemical fertilizers,
let Toby Hemenway show you how to create a backyard ecosystem that balances
the needs of humans and nature.
"Gaia's Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture outlines a
revolutionary course for the future of gardening and agriculture. It is
organized around the premise that it is possible to substitute information
and human stewardship for hardware, capital, chemicals, and machines in
the growing of foods and the crafting of landscapes." –
John Todd, founder of the New Alchemy
Institute, from the Foreword.
