Mobility restrictions began taking a toll on 84-year-old Duane Pancoast. His gardening abilities were changing but not his knowledge.
He began sharing his and other senior gardeners’ experiences in his blog: The Geriatric Gardener in February, 2017.
After posting bi monthly Adaptive Gardening stories Duane decided to compile the best of his post into a self-published book: The Geriactic Gardener.
Duane feels having the gardening information at your fingertips is a benefit for every senior gardener.
Duane continues to work in the family marketing communications business, which he started in 1985. The firm serves tree, landscape and lawn care businesses.
