Enjoying the love of gardening from the comfort of a wheelchair

Spring is a season of renewal, growth, and the joy of tending to blooming gardens. For individuals with mobility challenges, engaging in gardening can be made more accessible and enjoyable with thoughtfully designed planter boxes. The Rutherford Wheelchair Accessible Planters by Wishbone Site Furnishings offer an inclusive solution that brings the therapeutic benefits of gardening to everyone.

Embracing Inclusive Gardening

Gardening provides numerous physical and mental health benefits, from reducing stress to improving mobility and fostering a sense of accomplishment. However, traditional garden setups often pose challenges for wheelchair users. Recognizing this, Wishbone Site Furnishings has developed the Rutherford Wheelchair Accessible Planters, designed to be ADA compliant and cater to the needs of individuals with mobility constraints. 

Thoughtful Design and Durable Materials

The Rutherford planters are crafted with user convenience and sustainability in mind:

• Materials: Constructed with marine-grade aluminum frames and stainless steel hardware, these planters are built to withstand various weather conditions.
• Recycled Plastic Lumber: The use of 100% recycled plastic slats not only ensures durability and low maintenance but also contributes to environmental sustainability.
• Accessibility: Available in two sizes, the planters accommodate either two or four wheelchairs, providing ample space for collaborative gardening activities.
• Dimensions:
  • 2-Space Planter: Measures 4 feet in length and 3 feet in width, suitable for two wheelchair users.
  • 4-Space Planter: Extends to 8 feet in length, accommodating four wheelchair users simultaneously.

These features make the Rutherford planters an ideal choice for care homes, community gardens, and public spaces aiming to promote inclusive gardening practices.

Enhancing Community Spaces

Implementing wheelchair-accessible planters in communal areas fosters inclusivity and encourages social interaction among residents. Gardening becomes a shared activity, allowing individuals to connect, collaborate, and enjoy the outdoors together. The Rutherford planters not only serve a functional purpose but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of the environment with their sleek design and customizable colour options. 

By incorporating wheelchair-accessible planters like the Rutherford series into your gardening spaces, you create an environment where everyone can experience the joys of gardening. Embrace the season of growth by fostering inclusivity and community through accessible gardening practices.
