While gardening nourishes the soul, it can challenge the body, especially those gardeners who cannot walk, reach or bend freely. The first thing to consider in designing a garden for those who use a wheelchair is access. Paths or walkways both to and in the garden must be wide enough and made of a material that allows easy movement of the wheelchair. "It must be smooth and level [side to side] with no steep slopes," says Jack Carman, a landscape architect in Medford, N.J., who designs therapeutic gardens for senior communities.
