Goals
- improve accessibility of yard and offer sensory benefits to deafblind
Picture
Overview
Each of our houses has a backyard with the potential to offer increased living space as well as a variety of sensory experiences. Given the physical barriers of these yards many residents cannot enjoy this area of their home. By leveling the ground and creating wheelchair accessible walkways, a series of raised Sensory Gardens could be created , enabling our residents to experience a variety of sensory stimulants and vegetable gardens.
Deliverables:
- 1 sensory garden, benefitting 10 adults with deafblindness
- 75% resident participation in garden maintenance and vegetable planting & harvesting
- community partnership with local horticultural society for garden maintenance and advice
- website, annual report, newsletter and Facebook mentions
