Gardening for Good ~ October Workshops

Gardening for Good is a nonprofit organization in Westport, Massachusetts, "that reaches out to professionals, individuals and caregivers with ideas and programs that help older adults continue to enjoy gardening and nature." Two workshops are scheduled for October 20 and 21, one on therapeutic gardening activities and the other on designing gardens that are accessible and barrier-free for people who have limited flexibility and mobility. The workshops, which include lunch and course materials, are especially geared to activity professionals, allied health professionals, social workers, master gardener and garden club volunteers, educators, youth group leaders, and family caregivers. Early Birds should register by October 10, 2006 for reduced fee. See www.gardening4good.org.
