Wheelchair friendly gardens
Designing a wheelchair friendly garden means more than just removing the steps and adding a ramp.
A person in a wheelchair should have the same opportunity to enjoy the smells, colours, textures, the changing of seasons that an abled bodied person has.
When Mary designs a wheelchair friendly garden, first and foremost she is creating a stunning garden.
It just so happens that this stunning garden is accessible to those in a wheelchair.
Design elements that are important features of a wheelchair friendly garden are gradient of slope, turning circles, raised beds, width of paths, type of surface, door thresholds.
On the contrary, the same questions are asked about what the client wants for their garden.
Do you want a traditional or contemporary garden? Are you looking for low maintenance or are you are an active gardener? What would the other members of the family like? A garden needs to work for everyone.
