Not familiar with adaptive gardening? \u00a0<\/em>Adaptive gardening is adapting tools and\u00a0techniques commonly used in gardening to fit\u00a0the needs of people of various levels of\u00a0physical ability. \u00a0Gardening adaptations can be used for the\u00a0elderly, the wheelchair bound, or for people\u00a0with a limited range of motion. \u00a0Anyone wanting to reduce stress on joints\u00a0while gardening is a potential adaptive\u00a0gardener.<\/p>\n

Here is one example from their beautiful demonstration garden at the office: A vertical strawberry tower!<\/p>\n

Created from clay pots and recycled bamboo stakes for support (threaded through the drainage hole in the pots).\u00a0\u00a0This structure stands about\u00a02.5\u00a0foot high. \u00a0The\u00a0top tier is a trailing variety called\u00a0Albion, the midlevel is Tristar (an everbearing variety) , and Seascape (also everbearing) is in the base pot. \u00a0Can’t wait for the fruit-yum!
