Get Growing: A Guide to Gardening with Older Adults
The Get Growing Seniors Gardening Program provided opportunities for older adults to discover the outdoors and participate in physical activity through gardening across Peel. The program overcame barriers to gardening faced by older adults in underserved communities by delivering hands-on, high-quality activities. Designed for facilitators who work with older adults, the Get Growing Guide includes interactive activity outlines and accommodation strategies to engage older adults of varying abilities in garden-based recreation.
