Gardening enriches our quality of life, but for many people it also comes with physical challenges. With ergonomic design, garden tools can help remove these barriers, and keep the joy of a green oasis accessible to all.
The «La Roue» watering can balances water from A to B and offers several hand positions for axis-friendly watering and round movements. The movable handle allows the load of the water to remain centred and close to the body. The round design takes the shape of the joints and encourages one to keep moving, which is also helpful when suffering from rheumatic symptoms. The garden group of the Rheumaliga Bern has tested «La Roue». The garden tool takes into account the criteria of the everyday aids catalogue and is additionally optimised for automated moulding processes.
