Senior Friendly Garden Beds

Our Neighborhood Garden is building hip-height raised garden beds that will be accessible for seniors and persons with disability. The new beds will be made from long lasting materials and will enhance the usability, appearance, and sustainability of the garden and allow a wider range of potential gardeners to participate in the community garden and grow their own fresh produce.
