We are looking into these.  They are movable, not cheap, but can have multiple pathway use.  

Will report back if we get them for the farm school:

ADA Beach and Park Accessibility walkways

The Mobi-mat® portable pathways are designed to accommodate a wide range of users, individuals of all abilities including people with mobility and visual impairments, people with disabilities or mobility challenges, the elderly, those using wheelchairs, mobility scooters or strollers and other groups with special access needs.

Short-term ADA accessible paths?

Ary Solomon <a...@growportland.org>: Feb 14 10:09AM -0800 Hi folks,   Has anyone found some short-term solutions for making more accessible paths in the absence of compact gravel or pavement? We have a student at one of our schools who uses a wheelchair and isn't able to move around the garden because it's mostly wood chips. While we are making it a priority to figure out more permanent solutions (or rather, find the funds for more permanent solutions), we don't have the funds readily available to install compact gravel, and I'm wondering if anyone has found a way to make temporary pathways that a wheelchair could traverse?   Hoping we can all continue to prioritize accessibility of all kinds in our garden spaces, and that the more permanent solutions become more financially available!   Thanks, -- *Ary Solomon **(they/them)* Site Coordinator   4815 NE 7th Ave Portland, OR 97211 Traditional Lands of the Five Tribes of The Chinook Indian Nation <https://chinooknation.org/> Website <http://www.growportland.org> - Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/growportland> - Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/growportland/>

Joelle Kohn <jrk...@gmail.com>: Feb 14 12:31PM -0800 We use compacted DG (decomposed granite) that has worked really well for our kiddos in wheelchairs. Here is what our paths look like: https://www.facebook.com/ChaparralGarden/photos/4566973550025864   On Monday, February 14, 2022 at 10:09:59 AM UTC-8 a...@growportland.org wrote:
