Accessible Spaces
Wheelchair-accessible and standing-height raised beds built to ADA-informed dimensions.
Accessible Spaces covers wheelchair-accessible and standing-height raised beds built to ADA-informed dimensions, along with design guidance for gardens that people with a wide range of abilities can reach and navigate. The articles here look at the practical elements of an outdoor space, including garden gates and entrances, rest areas and seating, water features, and path surfaces for wheelchairs, rollators, walkers, canes, and prosthetics.
Level changes, ramps, and transitions get their own article, as does lighting for users with low vision. One piece explains how universal design differs from accessible design, which modifies a standard layout to accommodate users with disabilities.
