The accessible planter went from zero to seventy a year

We did not ship a single wheelchair-accessible planter in 2019 or 2020. We shipped seventy in 2026. This is the fastest-growing accessible product we make.

A raised planter is already an accessibility feature. It brings soil to a height somebody can reach without kneeling. A wheelchair-accessible planter goes further and leaves knee clearance underneath, so a person pulls up to the bed and gardens at it, rather than reaching across from the side.

Where they are going

Community gardens attached to parks, which is where Bridgeview Park in Richmond Hill put one. Seniors' housing and care facilities, where gardening is a programme rather than a hobby. Schools with a neighbourhood learning centre. The product went from nothing to forty percent of all planters we ship, and the rest of the planter category grew alongside it, which suggests the accessible version is bringing the planting programme with it.

Self-watering, and why it pairs with accessible

Self-watering planters are the other consistent line in this category, and the two go together for a reason: a bed that is gardened by people with limited mobility is also a bed that may not be watered daily. A reservoir under the soil covers the gap. Most accessible planter orders we see specify the self-watering version.
