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.

at the Governor Morehead School for the Blind in Raleigh, NC.
This garden, dedicated in 2001, is designed to help blind children
and adults.
