West Virginia

Green Thumbs, Healthy Joints, an accessible gardening program in partnership with West Virginia AgrAbility, is excited to announce a new addition to its webpage—an online forum. This forum is for discussing accessible gardening and related topics. Comments can address ergonomics and arthritis, gardening experiences, and sharing advice. Green Thumbs staff will post specific topics and questions, and individuals can post their own questions as well.

So how does this forum work? How can you be a part of the discussion?

1. The first step is to register. To register, go to greenthumbs.cedwvu. org/forums. Click on the ‘register’ link on the top of the page.
You do not have to register if you only want to read the discussions.
2. Once you have registered and received your password, you can post messages.

• Log into the forum at greenthumbs.cedwvu.org/forums.

• In the body of the post, enter your question, answer to someone else’s question or advice.
