    Aging or physical disabilities often cause one to give up favorite hobbies or activities. Gardening does not have to be one of them. In this episode of Weekend Landscaping, host Jessie Mack Burns turns a side yard into a garden that is accessible to everyone, including seniors and those with handicaps. Learn how to build easy-to-reach raised beds for flowers, vegetables and herbs, separated by wide, firm pathways that are suitable for wheelchairs. The result: an empty space that becomes a priceless gift.
