Enjoy gardening--and avoid related aches and pains.

* Protect your joints: Choose tools with padded handles and a spring-action self-opening feature to reduce excess pressure on your hands and fingers.

* Conserve energy: Use a kneeler seat, take rest breaks and stop work before becoming overtired.

* Save your back: Squat before lifting heavy things. Don't lean over to lift.

* Plan smart: Start with a small garden area located near your house and the water supply.

* Save your macula for later years: Wear UV protective glasses even on cloudy days.
