Garden Therapy

To Discover Gardens for Visually and Physically Impaired

This project is to collect information regarding gardens for the visually and physically impaired. We are looking for specially designed gardens that help children and adults who are blind, deaf-blind, or hearing-impaired (other disabilities may be included) develop skills and improve their social, psychological and physical well being through gardening activities.

 
Each state garden club was asked to assist in completing this project by submitting information about the gardens in their state.
