Grow with DIGA
Summer 2007
Enabling our members to reach their gardening potential
People with significant physical disabilities face two
main barriers to gardening: lack of space for planting
and having no suitable tools to work the land.

The Disabled Independent Gardeners Association
(DIGA) aims to help members with both areas.
Not
everyone has a backyard or even a balcony for container
gardening, so DIGA program coordinator Betty Cheung
will be helping people find space at local community
gardens, citing the example of member Terry LeBlanc.

Finding himself having outgrown his apartment
container garden, which still produces herbs and flowers,
he took over some land at Maple Community Garden in
Spring 2006.
It is an adapted growing area, with raised
beds and accessible pathways.

“It’s very important to me,” said LeBlanc.
“It’s a little
summer oasis over there.
It’s right in the middle of the herb garden.
I’d encourage DIGA members to call their local
community garden.
