[Community_garden] Wheel Chair accessibility

[Miles Gordon]

We are establishing several new gardens, each with wheel chair
accessibility, as well as one senior "no bend" garden.  

I am using Rothert's "The Enabling Garden" as a resource.  Looking for
updated information regarding bed construction materials that are lower
cost and with ease of construction.  

 

Additionally, does anyone have experience using "PlayPak" ADA approved
woodchips for mulching the paths?  Are wheelchairs, walkers, etc. able
to easily move and walk on this?  Other favorite path materials that are
relatively easy to and affordable for wheelchairs?  Thanks for all the
information you all keep providing.
