Wheelchair Accessible Vegetable Boxes

16 years ago

Hi,

I recently decided to grow a few vegetables in my garden using raised vegetable boxes which I can access from my wheelchair. I did post a few photo's on another forum, which I thought may be of interest to readers of similar projects.

Anyway, here's the link, I hope it's of use: Wheelchair Accessible Garden Box

Best regards

Simon

Smittee, if you can afford the materials, contact your local Boy Scout group and talk to the Leader. Oftentimes the boys can do projects like this to earn merit badges, with adult supervision.

Sometimes local church groups may help, too.
