Hi Henrietta, what kinds of things were you thinking? Were you thinking of 
flowers, vegetables or herbs? Were you also wondering if there are any 
resources and literiture on gardening that blind people can access?
     For anyone who is interested, there is a magazine on BARD called 
Horticulture Magazine. Once you log in, go to the magazine section and look 
for it under the letter H. There is also a gardening section of books on 
BARD as well. If you are a member of NEWSLINE, there is also Better Home and 
Gardening Magazine that you can add to your favorites list. You can also 
look up different plants on the internet just like any sited person. Just 
because we are not sited doesn't mean that we don't have access to gardening 
information.
