Post #12862

Since so many here (myself included) are looking for places to get gardening and other tools adapted for those with special needs, I thought I'd start a thread just for links to such products.

The other replies regarding such tools are getting buried in the threads, making them kinda, well...inaccessible, which is as frustrating in the cyberworld as it is in the "real" one, right? ;o)

Here's some info/companies I've found online. Please post any links you find!

Peta (UK): http://www.peta-uk.com/acatalog/index.html
Not to be confused with the animal rights organization, this company is in the UK. They have some wonderful looking products and they do ship overseas, and it's not unreasonable! I put in a dummy order for a special trowel and support cuff. The items were $21.63 and the shipping was $7 (US funds).


NOT STOOPED Garden Tools, LLC: http://www.webcreations.com/notstooped/pwdtopsheet.html

Gardenscape: http://www.gardenscape.on.ca/pages/enablingtools.htm
Very neat site with lots of tools with unique designs.

Total Living Company: http://www.totalliving.com/garden.html
Many of these items look like they'd be available elsewhere since they're major brands, like Fiskars. Still worth a look, though.
