Hey all you rollers!
I am working on an accessible garden nursery area at our church garden. Two of our workers are people who use wheelchairs, and I am interested in knowing what you like to use for flooring.
We have someone who is going to make this area for us - it can be cement, graded for water run off (but where it runs to is the problem!!), or decking but that would need a ramp and we are in a very small space. This is an ultra miniature garden center - a place to hold, showcase and work on our plants which are for sale to the community.
We are a group of people who garden and also have disabilities, most of us live in group homes and have cognitive or emotional disabilities so we have never had to tackle some of the projects we now need to work on. Our two gardeners who use wheelchairs do not garden anywhere else and have only recently begun to use a wheelchair ...so they aren't sure what they think would be the best thing. Clearly wood chips are not. That has been a bit of a challenge!

THANK YOU!
