University of Maine Cooperative Extension will offer a webinar about ways to address the physical strain of gardening from noon to 1 p.m. Monday, Aug. 31, according to a news release from the Orono-based extension office.
“Pain-free Gardening,” led by Maine AgrAbility specialist Ellen Gibson, will include discussions about ergonomics and tool choices, and demonstrations of safely bending, stretching and getting your body ready to garden.
Registration is required; a $5 donation is optional.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way.
