Farm Day Expands 



The Annual Open Farm Day will 

 be held on Sunday, August 15, 

 and has expanded to involve agri- 

 cultural enterprises in both Rock- 

 ingham and Strafford counties. 



The mix (over thirty partici- 

 pants) is eclectic and includes, 

 along with such places as 

 Goudreault's Farm and Green- 

 houses (Plaistow) and Saltbox 

 Farm (Stratham), the UNH Dairy 

 Teaching and Research Center 

 (Durham), the New Hampshire 

 Farm Museum (Milton), Elliott 

 and Williams Roses (Dover), and 

 Little Bay Buffalo Company 

 (Durham). The diversity could cre- 

 ate an interesting day.

StandUp Gardens 



StandUp Gardens, Ltd., a new 

 business in Portsmouth, New Hamp- 

 shire, is expanding the pleasures of 

 gardening. StandUp Gardens spe- 

 cially designs table-height garden- 

 ing systems-on-wheels. Basically, 

 they consist of a 3'x4' green fiber- 

 glass container ten inches deep 

 (there is a drain valve for excess 

 water) set onto a portable frame. A 

 wooden trellis or arbor can be 

 added. Two of these gardens, high- 

 lighted by the Florida chapter of 

 the American Horticultural Therapy 

 Association, are now on exhibit for 



the sixth annual International 

 Flower and Garden Festival at 

 Disney's Epcot Center in Orlando. 



President and founder Paul 

 Harris says, "We try to make the 

 joy and beauty of gardening avail- 

 able to people who have been de- 

 nied these pleasures by the con- 

 straint of physical limitations;" 

 these systems are specially tailored 

 to individuals who have difficulty 

 bending to ground level. Last year, 

 StandUp Gardens, Ltd., received a 

 LifeSpace Design Award from the 

 American Health Care Associa- 

 tion's Provider Magazine. The 

 StandUp Garden is also the first 

 product ever endorsed by the 

 American Horticultural Therapy 

 Association. 



Several models and finishes 

 meet a variety of design require- 

 ments. StandUp Gardens, Ltd., is
