Subject: Re: ADA garden beds
I've also been researching wheel-chair accessible, ADA-compliant beds for the renovation of a community garden I'm helping with. It's been challenging to find designs that are forward facing (so that gardeners don't have to twist in order to garden), and also have enough space built-in to the bed for soil and roots. One design that we might go with is from Gardens for Humanity. The linked website shows pictures of the beds, and they offer a PDF of the planter design and construction design with a suggested donation of $25.
I'm excited to learn about other accessible designs!
Best,

Some school gardens in my district have adopted old salad bars from our Food Services warehouse. They are high enough for ADA-compliant beds. So I suggest reaching out to your Food Services!
Side note – if anyone in SD County is looking we do have some in storage right now looking for a new home.
