Project snapshot

Our greenhouse project aims to make gardening accessible to community members with mobility disabilities. Many residents who are wheelchair-bound or have limited mobility enjoy gardening but lack suitable options, especially in colder months. This project will bridge that gap, providing a year-round space for everyone to experience the beauty of gardening. By creating an inclusive environment, we will strengthen relationships among community members, allowing them to work side by side. This project fosters unity, showing that everyone can contribute regardless of their situation. Education is a key goal. We plan to teach visitors how to care for the greenhouse and sustain its use, ensuring knowledge is passed on. This will help feed our community and empower individuals to teach future gardeners.
