Message from Bella D'Arcy Reed
This website no longer accepts new articles. Like a good book, it will stay 'on the shelf' so that anyone interested can still access the articles but there are currently no plans to add further resources. Bella is concentrating on www.accessiblegardens.co.uk.
As well as reading and downloading the articles you can still order BUMPS.
BUMPS
An audio/CD play by Sheila Dewey - available from 18 November 2011.
A chance meeting at a tea party in Surrey in 1889 led to one of the most affectionate, long-lasting, extraordinary garden partnerships of the 20th century.: that of Gertrude Jekyll and Edwin Lutyens.
Sheila Dewey’s play, re-written for audio from the original theatre production, is both funny and moving – and an ideal Christmas present for gardeners. This is a new venture for gardens and people - profits will go towards garden events for disabled people at the Chelsea Fringe.

Accessible Gardens
The sister-website, www.accessiblegardens.org.uk has now become a hub of information for gardens lovers with disabilities.
www.accessiblegardens.org.uk has articles of interest to older gardeners and people of all ages with disabilities: it includes reports on gardens open to the public written by disabled people to be of benefit to other garden visitors.
There are also articles on making gardens and gardening accessible to children, young people, the community and anyone who is disadvantaged in any way, plus articles on other accessibility topics.
