Handicapped Accessible Garden : Special Needs Kids

I was asked to turn an abandoned garden into an oasis for children with physical and intellectual challenges. I created a handicapped-accessible, sensory/therapeutic school garden so that children confined to wheelchairs and walkers have access to an outdoor space filled with many sensory experiences. This garden allows children to plant vegetables in a supportive learning environment, ultimately encouraging them to grow socially, emotionally and intellectually. 

 

We need your help to keep this very special garden safe and in good working shape.

 

Nearly all children at this school are confined to wheelchairs and walkers and have significant emotional and intellectual delays. We created a space that offers a wide range of sensory experiences. This garden invites the student to touch, smell, see, listen and actively experience the garden with all their senses. We created a space where they can freely move around. These amazing children deserve something great in their lives, please help me make their dream come true!

I am seeking donations so that we can keep this garden open and always have beautiful plants and safe, firm ground surfaces so the kids in wheelchairs can always access this special place.

 

Please help by donating so that we can keep this garden open.
