Gardening is for everyone! Rooting an accessibility and justice lens when developing a garden for yourself, or for your neighborhood creates spaces that are accessible, safe and inclusive for everyone in the community. 

 

The new Growing Together Accessibility Video highlights the stories and voices of members in our community! In the video we learn accessibility garden adaptations, discuss the importance of embedding accessibility into food systems and food growing, and showcase tips and resources to making your garden space more accessible. This video is in partnership with City of Victoria and Can You Dig It, a program run by PHABC, and their new ‘Community Garden Accessibility Toolkit’ with resources to develop accessible garden spaces.

 

Watch the Growing Together Accessible Garden Video through youtube (available with closed captioning and Spanish/Arabic subtitles) and check out the ‘Community Garden Accessibility Toolkit’.

 

This video project has been funded by the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors project.
