This is Shira Leeder, our ADA coordinator on the deck next to the accessible beds holding onto winter crops in the garden for her bio picture which is on Ms Wheelchair California site. Half of the platform for her run was on this garden and now she will be promoting up and down our wonderful state of California.

The garden can really use support in the form of donations, which can be made on this site. We are working on several green tech projects right now and we have until next year to implement them. This is going to be a big year of growth for both the organization and this particular garden.

We will post more in the coming weeks....

Firstly thanks a lot for such a wonderful post about "Wheelchairs" I would like to know more about such topics and hope to get some more helpful information from your blog. The resource that you mentioned here is something that I have been looking from quite a time. And finally it ended with such a nice blog post. C U soon.

We are creating an accessible community garden on a city-owned lot in Berkeley, California. This garden is intended to serve individuals and families from the immediate and surrounding neighborhoods, many of whom are lower income. The current master plan is also being designed to accommodate raised planters for people with disabilities to garden.

The benefits of this project include strengthening the surrounding community, ensuring food security for those most vulnerable to the vagaries of the current economic downturn, providing nutrition education to neighborhood children so they and their families can learn about growing their own healthy food, and an opportunity for cross-generational and cross-cultural interaction between seniors, kids and others. If you and your household live in Berkeley and are interested in growing your own food, click on the link below:

The Kenney Cottage Garden is so named because our hope is to relocate the historic Kenney Cottage to the western half of the vacant lot to be used as a community center for the arts, while creating the accessible community garden on the eastern half of the property. Two local non-profit organizations - the Northern California Land Trust (NCLT) and Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association (BAHA) - have partnered together with us to make this project possible. More information about the cottage is available here.
