My knees and hips are getting creakier so I now now use a gardeners
padded kneeling pad with two arms. I use it as shown in the pic, the
arms are great for levering myself up again. , but you can also turn it
the other way up as a higher seat. You might find one useful if they
are available over there

When I was looking for a retirement home for mom, I saw some raised flower
beds for the retirees such that they could pull the wheelchairs or walkers
next to it without bending over to manage their plots.
