Kiyo Tanaka skillfully steers her wheelchair between the flower beds as she gardens outdoors. Gardening is one of her favorite year-round activities.
Believe it or not, thirteen-year-old Kiyo also successfully grows plants indoors without soil. She fills plastic containers with a special solution for nourishing plants. She uses a piece of screen to support each plant in a container, which allows the roots to dangle into the solution so that half of the root system is covered1. Every few weeks Kiyo pours out the old solution, flushes the container with clear water, and then pours in fresh solution, which she buys at a gardening center.
With this kind of indoor gardening, Kiyo doesn’t have to worry about outdoor garden pests, poor soil, or bad weather. She keeps the plants on shelves where they can get good sunlight and where she can reach them easily. Her indoor plants are a living evidence to the good care she gives them.
