HOW TO START A
CHILDREN'S GARDEN CLUB
ACCESSIBILITY RESOURCES
One way to incorporate accessibility in the garden is to use a multi-sensory approach to covering the garden lessons. During our program sessions we created activities to appeal to the visual, auditory, kinetic and verbal learning preferences of the kids in the group. We played insect bingo and the kids had to find various insects in the garden, we read in the garden, had observation tools to collect and view insects, and had kids work in teams to collect garden data and record it for further analysis.
Whether you are interested in making the physical space of your garden wheelchair accessible, including more sensory elements in your garden, or looking for accessible gardening tools, the links below will help you with ideas and solutions to make this possible.
