Elder-Accessible Gardening Fact Sheet
Posted by on January 23, 2012
The EPA’s fact sheet on elder-accessible gardening has come out – and the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging & GenPhilly’s tool kit (http://genphilly.wordpress.com/resources/tool-kit-for-community-gardens-and-seniors/) helped to shape it! One of the case studies is the Nationalities Senior Center! This new EPA publication provides guidelines for designing urban gardens in brownfields, for seniors and other residents who want to remain physically active, connect with each other and the natural world, and engage in community activities.
