Celebrity gardener Mark Lane introduces Invisible Creations’ accessible Garden Grab Rail Range
Invisible Creations, a supplier of functional grab rails, has announced the launch of its latest range at Glee 2024 garden trade event taking place this week from 10-12 September.
To mark the milestone, the company has partnered with the celebrity gardener Mark Lane, who is supporting the collection aimed at transforming garden accessibility for all.
Installing adaptions that support people to get in and out and around their home and gardens, can be make all the difference, according to Invisible Creations.
As someone who has faced his own challenges with accessibility, Mark understands the importance of creating gardens that are not only beautiful but also safe and welcoming for everyone.
Mark comments: “I’m delighted to support Invisible Creations with the introduction of their new garden grab rail range.
“Gardening has the power to improve our health and well-being, and it should be accessible to all, regardless of age or ability. These grab rails are a game-changer, offering both style and safety, and I’m proud to support a product that will make such a positive impact.”
Co-designed with users and The Royal College of Art, Invisible Creations’ new garden grab rails, focus on safety, functionality, and style.
Engineered with robust materials, they provide essential support for individuals navigating their outdoor spaces, significantly increasing access for all and reducing the risk of falls.
Beyond their safety features, the grab rails double as planters, path lights, and plant pots, seamlessly blending into garden decor and offering a stylish solution for enhancing the beauty and accessibility of any outdoor space.
Laura Wood, Director at Invisible Creations, states: “Gardens are our sanctuaries, and our enjoyment shouldn’t be limited or defined by circumstances outside of our control.
“Invisible Creations is dedicated to enhancing freedom of movement and reducing falls, empowering individuals with the confidence to navigate their homes and gardens with ease.”
Approximately 24 per cent of the UK population live with a registered disability, according to Government statistics, and four million of these people are older adults living with a limiting long-term illness or disability. As this number is only expected to rise as the population ages, the safety of outdoor spaces has become a pressing issue.
With nearly half of all falls occuring in outdoor areas such as gardens, falls can have serious consequences. Around 76,000 hip fractures occur each year in the UK, costing the NHS over £2 million annually. These injuries often lead to lengthy hospital stays, significant rehabilitation, and, in some cases, permanent loss of independence, and even death.
Invisible Creations is on stand 9E80 at Glee 2024 from 10-12 September 2024.
