Paralysis Can't Stop Him From Gardening

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
This is a special video, as myself and Jacques in the Garden made our way out to Georgia to meet a long-time Instagram friend, Claudia (Her channel: Her husband Weekes, who is an avid gardener, got into a terrible car accident and almost died four times, leaving him mostly paralyzed. We decided to head out and spruce up the garden, making it just a bit more accessible for Weekes to access with the new reality he was facing - and got a lot of inspiration along the way. What an incredible mind and spirit he had!

Disability isn t a bad thing, it s one way to exist. Latent Disabled folks are a great example of why we all need to work on our ableism, anyone can become disabled at any time.
There are so many cool accessibility tools for gardening no matter your disability and there are also some pretty easy ways to adapt tools you buy at your local gardening or hardware store. PVC, pipe foam and pool noodles go far when making accessible items.

Thank you for sharing a different perspective of gardeners! I'm a Hemipelvectomy amputee and due to that most of my gardening is limited to me being on a wheel chair for stability and to have the ability to carry things around as I'm missing a whole leg. I do have crutches but that really limits what I can do with my hands.
Thank you once again! It is nice to see how others make things work for them and keep moving forward.

Very generous of Epic Gardening! So very inspirational of Claudia and Weekes. As a gardener with advancing autoimmune disorders and other invisible illnesses it is so motivating to see others with physical limitations getting out into their gardens and living their best lives in spite of their limitations.

Very nice. You should go north above Helen, GA and check out the headwaters of the Chattahoochee River. It is amazing how much water comes off those hills!

Gardening and snowshoeing helped my physio the last 2 years, after a really bad break on my calcaneus (85% for life they say, but, I push.
