A workshop on how aging and low mobility gardeners can keep gardening.
Presented by the NC State Extension Master Gardener Volunteers of Chatham County
Date: April 14, 2025: 9:00 – 12:00
Location: Chatham County Agriculture and Conference Center

Even casual gardeners have learned that gardening can be a very physical activity. Lifting, digging, kneeling, raking, dragging hoses, etc. can give you a beautiful garden but it also can affect your body with sore backs, hands, elbows, necks and many other parts of your body. Young gardeners can often easily shake off these aches and pains. With age, however, they can become much more serious and get in the way of our gardening efforts and joys. Some folks have never engaged in gardening for fear of mobility issues.
Well, there is hope! By making modifications to their gardening approach, good preparation and proper tool use, aging gardeners and those with mobility limitations don’t necessarily have to give up gardening
The Chatham Eextion Master Gardener Lifelong Gardening Workshop is designed to educate the public on ideas, tools & techniques that will help make the joys and benefits of gardening more accessible as they age.
The Lifelong Gardening Workshop will focus on three main areas:
- Modifications to the garden – alternative garden layouts, plant selections and container choices
- Preparation of the gardener – garden session plans, warming up and proper tool use techniques
- Tool selection – choosing proper tools and adaptive options
Join us for a fun and engaging morning! Register here!
