• If you love gardening, then keep doing it, even if you are an amputee. Gardening is great exercise and fun, too. You also get the satisfaction of knowing that you planted all those flowers or vegetables. If you have a disability, you need tools that work with your disability, not against it. These tools help you do a variety of gardening tasks, including planting, pruning and trimming.
  
  

Cultivator

• If you work from a seated position, then a long-reach cultivator helps you till your soil without bending. A cultivator has several teeth that break up compacted soil and aerates it. PETA-UK advises that the longer tool shaft reduces the amount of strain that you feel on your shoulders and back. The handle of the tool is perpendicular to the shaft of the tool, keeping your wrist and hand in a natural position, which reduces stress on your joints. Use in conjunction with a cuff, which attaches to both your arm and your tool. If you lose your grip, it won't fall to the ground; it stays attached to your arm via the cuff.
  
  

Garden Seat

• A garden seat caddy acts like a mini tractor for anyone who must garden from a seated position. Disabled World suggests a model that features four wheels that easily moves over any type of terrain. It includes a tray that holds all of your tools. Wheel it into place yourself, or employ a helper to set it up for you. The caddy sits low enough to the ground for you to easily access all garden beds, and it is weather resistant. It also helps you sit while using long-arm tools.
  
  

Lawnmower

• An automatic lawnmower operates via batter power and it features two wheels. Robomow, for example, is unlike traditional lawnmowers; it runs without operator interaction. To use this lawnmower, set up a wire perimeter around your lawn, which eventually retreats into the ground. The lawnmower detects the wire via a battery-powered control box located inside the machine. As it moves around your lawn, it only cuts the area inside the wire. Use a remote control to move it onto your lawn and then start it.
  
  

Cut/Hold

• Cut and hold tools help you prune garden plants using one hand. The Carry on Gardening website, for example, shows shears that operate when you squeeze the handle using either your left or right hand. Then, the shear blades cut in a scissors-like fashion. Purchase these tools with a swivel head for pruning. For example, the blades that move in 180 degrees help you prune near fences or walls. As with long reach tools, use in conjunction with a cuff so you don't drop the tool if you lose your grip.
