Bring a Sensory Garden to life in a structured therapeutic
horticulture program! Intergenerational gardening programs bring
the generations together. This book presents a tested, hands-on,
easy-to-use activity plan that benefits the development of
relationships between adults over 70 and school-age children. It
shows how to limit frustration for both groups, how to plan
activities that are functional and non-contrived, and how to assure
that the interaction between elders and children is rewarding and
pleasant for both. The activities rely on inexpensive, readily
available tools and resources available throughout the growing
season. While other books have discussed designing a Sensory Garden
for people with disabilities, Generations Gardening Together
applies the Sensory Garden design to a specific population, with a
focus on the human senses that are stimulated by the garden. This
unique sourcebook shows you, step-by-step, how a Sensory Garden can
come alive in a structured therapeutic horticulture program.
Generations Gardening Together shows how to create a Sensory Garden
that will stimulate young and old gardeners alike. It outlines a
six-week program curriculum that has been used and developed over
ten years to use gardening as a program to bring generations
together. You'll learn therapeutic techniques that benefit elders
by promoting self-esteem, creating feelings of pride, competence,
and satisfactionboth from creating a garden and through passing on
their knowledge and wisdom to the younger generation, inspiring
them to use both their long-term and short-term memory skills,
increasing physical stimulation, and providing the comfort of
familiar plants and their aromas, which can trigger memories of
people, places, and vocations. The activities in the book also
benefit children through the establishment of a safe environment
where people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities can come
togetheran ideal social situation in which youth can seek the
wisdom of elders. Children learn important lessons about
accountability, nurturing, and responsibility, for working in a
garden teaches youth about life, death, hope, patience, and beauty.

In Beyond 1776, ten humanities scholars consider the American
Revolution within a global framework. The foundation of the United
States was deeply enmeshed with shifting alliances and multiple
actors, with politics saturated by imaginative literature, and with
ostensible bilateral negotiations that were, in fact, shaped by
speculation about realignments in geopolitical power. To reanimate
these intricate and often indirect connections, this volume
uncovers the influences of people across disparate sites both
during and after independence. The book centers first on the
migration of ideas across the Atlantic, particularly among
intellectuals and through print. In this section, scholars focus on
how various European countries or cliques appropriate the
Revolution to reanimate an array of national, local, or
cosmopolitan affiliations. The essays in the second section
articulate how revolutions fostered surprising exchanges in, for
example the West Indies and in the first penal colonies of
Australia, along the Celtic fringe and Pacific Rim, and in the vast
territories through which goods circulated. Taken as a whole, this
collection answers the persistent calls from scholars to move
beyond the boundaries defined by the nation-state or periodization
to rethink narratives of U.S. foundations. The contributors examine
a range of texts, from novels and drama to diplomatic
correspondence, letters of common sailors, political treatises,
newspapers, accounting ledgers, naval records, and burial rituals
(many from non-Anglophone sources). Beyond 1776 will appeal to
scholars seeking to understand contact and exchange in the late
eighteenth century. It indexes how different intellectuals in the
period deployed the Revolution as a point of connection; follows
the dispersal of print books, guns, slaves, and memorabilia; and
evaluates literary responses to the new republic. The book puts in
conversation scholars of literature, theater, history, modern
languages, American studies, political science, transatlanticism,
cultural studies, women's studies, postcolonialism, and geography.
