Woy offers advice and information for gardeners with special needs: how to plan and lay out an accessible garden; how to construct paths, patios, ramps, steps, handrails, fences, and gates; and how to create raised beds, container gardens, and tabletop gardens. There are instructions on building trellises and plant supports, on soil testing and preparation, on composting, on watering, and on selecting tools. Chapters on lawn care, accessible landscapes, and horticultural therapy also appear. An appendix contains a state-by-state list of accessible public gardens and a list of sources of tools, supplies, and information.
