While gardening can be a great way to get in touch with nature, grow some of your own healthy foods, and relax, for some people, it can be hard to physically handle everything that you need to do in order to garden effectively.

This can especially be the case with older people who may not have the ability to move as well as they once did. But luckily, there are things that you can do to alleviate some of these issues.

3 Ways to Make Lawn Care and Gardening Easier on Older Bodies

To help you see how this can be done, here are three ways to make lawn care and gardening easier on older bodies.

Start Using Larger Growing Pots

If you’re trying to get your lawn and garden easier to manage for yourself now that you’re older, something that can be helpful is to look at the gardens they have at senior living facilities.

If you can, try to replicate some of the things that they have or do at these facilities, as they are meant to be worked in by older residents.

One thing many of these communities will do is put plants in larger growing pots.

Having the plants either in raised beds or in taller pots makes it easier to weed them, tend them, and collect the bounty once everything has grown.

Replace Your Old Tools

When people are younger, their hands are often more nimble and able to do smaller tasks easier.

Because of this, some of the gardening tasks that require fine motor skills or that require using specific tools can be harder to do as people age.

Something that you can do to work around this is to replace your old gardening tools with tools meant to be used by the elderly or people who have issues like arthritis.

These tools often have more ergonomic grips and handles to make using them easier, even if you’re lacking in hand strength or dexterity.

Expect It To Take Longer

Another thing that you can do to help make gardening easier on an aging body is to not expect yourself to work in the garden like you used to when you were younger.

You might be moving around slower and have a harder time doing some of the bigger jobs on your own. This can cause things to take longer than you might be used to.

But if you’re able to accept that you’ll be moving at a slower pace and taking more breaks now, not only will you feel less stress and disappointment in your time in your garden, but you’ll also decrease your chances of overdoing it and potentially hurting yourself as you try to keep up with your younger pace.

If you want to keep gardening and doing yard work into your twilight years, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you do so safely and effectively.
