Maurice Renaudie: Power Chair Gardener Extraordinaire

Transitioning to life as a power wheelchair user was probably the last thing on Maurice Renaudie's mind when he came to America from France in 1966. But when medical issues made personal mobility assistance a necessity, he turned a life-changing event into a moment of opportunity.

With the renewed mobility provided by his Hoveround electric wheelchair, Maurice was able to start a home garden. The vegetable garden was so impressive, it was praised by the city's mayor in the pages of a local Medford, Massachusetts newspaper. "I'm so happy I've got this to do", Renaudie told the Medford Daily Mercury in September 2011. "[This] is my paradise."

Renaudie, a former carpenter, used the skills of his trade to build raised garden beds that made his crops easier to reach – all from the comfort of his power wheelchair. In a letter sent to Hoveround, an appreciative Renaudie wrote: "Thanks very much for a wonderful product ... I have enclosed photos of myself and the garden I was able to plant and harvest this summer. .. I am grateful."

And we're grateful to you, Maurice, for your personal Hoveround review!
