The sun is shining bright again and many people are hoping

a wheelchair though, this task takes more planning and thought then most.
Age UK have published the below tips for gardening through

2. Electrical equipment should never be used in wet weather
3. Avoid the garden when slippery from Autumn rain
4. If you're unsure about tackling a job in the garden, always call in the professionals
5. Carry a mobile phone or personal alarm device with you when outside
Gordon Morris, Managing Director of Age UK Personal Alarms, said: " It is important that nothing prevents them getting outside and enjoying their gardens. A personal alarm can help give older people peace of mind that they are safe when in the garden.”
