Gardening becomes a source of joy, purpose, and physical activity for seniors when adapted with accessibility and safety in mind. We explore how to transform gardening from a potentially difficult chore into a delightful, beneficial activity regardless of age or physical limitations.

• Physical benefits include gentle exercise, vitamin D exposure, and nutritious harvests
• Design accessible gardens using raised beds, container gardening, and vertical planting
• Create safe pathways that are wide, flat, non-slip, and well-lit
• Choose low-maintenance plants like perennial herbs, succulents, and native species
• Design sensory gardens with plants chosen for fragrance, texture, taste, and sound
• Use ergonomic, lightweight tools with padded handles to reduce strain
• Practice safety by working in short sessions, stretching before gardening, and staying hydrated
• Explore alternatives like tabletop gardens, terrariums, and community gardening
• Connect with gardening through shows and podcasts even when you can't physically garden
