Green Thumb Lecture: How We Garden: Body Saving Advice from a Physical Therapist

July 8, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Free

Feeling the aches and pains of gardening? Want to complete garden chores more safely? Vonnie Voris, author and physical therapist, combines her love of gardening and her professional experience to teach body-saving tips for working in the garden. During her hour-long presentation on July 8th beginning at noon, Voris will include discussions on garden design and planning as well as body mechanics, fitness, and self-care.

A graduate of the University of Washington, Voris has been a physical therapist for more than thirty-years. Many of her clients are gardeners who she helped to recover from strains and injuries. Voris published, “How We Garden Body-Saving Advice from a Physical Therapist” in 2019 to help gardeners of all ages reduce the risks of injuries while gardening.
