Happy News: Gardens Made Accessible
 For those of us with green thumbs, gardening is almost always a ground-level activity. But what about those who face accessibility challenges? Enter the Elevated Garden. After Terry Garrett witnessed his brother lose the ability to pursue his passion of gardening after being diagnosed with Stage IV chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and being confined to a wheelchair, Terry took it upon himself to ensure that anyone who loves to garden can do so. Elevated Gardens are tabletop gardens that stand 30 inches tall – ideal for those in wheelchairs – and that are built on wheels, so they can be used indoors throughout the year.

Wellness Tip of the Month.
 From Commerce Court’s third quarter wellness seminar, Success in the Kitchen, here is a tip for those who are finding themselves too busy to make time in the kitchen:
Consider one of the many meal kit and farm bag programs available in Toronto. Delivered to your door, these programs take some of the stress (and time) out of meal planning and grocery shopping and allow you to focus on simple, healthy meal prep.
