Gardening – Your Health And Safety

Renata Cook, Val C. & Allan McPhaden – June 10, 2025

Renata Cook who is a retired nurse, provided tips on being safe while gardening. She provided the above information. Val C. who is a retired physiotherapist, demonstrated various stretching exercises. The one I remember is standing still but arm stretching similar to “Walk Like An Eqyptian.” Can’t explain it. Val C. is a member so you can ask her at a meeting or talk to Renata. Allan McPhaden from Lee Valley showed us various tools which was very informative. Dave C. recommends the Ergonomic Shovel with the circle for a handle. Says it’s the best shovel he’s ever had.
