Reviews

For gardeners with limited mobility, Adil provides information on developing, planting, and maintaining a garden. Her how-to guide describes a variety of plants suitable for growing in containers, raised beds, and vertical gardens, for what the author calls "barrierfree" gardening. Adil explains the physical, intellectual, social, and emotional/psychological benefits of gardening. She offers a list of catalogs available for the gardener's convenience and variety in selecting seeds and tools. There are chapters on tools and tips for using them; on choosing vegetables, herbs, flowers, shrubs, trees, fruit bushes, and vines; and on children with physical disabilities and gardening. The finished paperback will contain 100 black-and-white photographs and line drawings. George Cohen
