Welcome to The Accessible Friends Network's

Blind Gardening Pages

Please note, this "cyber gardening" page is undergoing re-development during 2011.

Introduction

Many people who happen to be blind or visually impaired are very interested in gardening, and although often things need to be done a little bit different, there's no reason why anyone in that position cannot become green fingered. At TAFN - The Accessible Frineds Network - not only do we encourage blind people to carry on gardening, or take it up if they are new to it! - but you'll find a lot of support from your peers of all ages and backgrounds as well.

Firstly, there is The Potting Shed - a live interactive event held monthly on Sundays on the TAFN VIP Communicator server and hosted by Elisabeth from Bristol.

Secondly there is a comprehensive written web guide to Accessible Container Gardening for blind people, written by Sue Pallett.

Lastly for now, TAFN once featured in the magazine of THRIVE, the National Blind Gardening organisation's magazine.  Read on for more details and an audio file to listen to.
