How do I get my wheelchair i nto my garden?

I also am wheelchair bound. Buy paving bricks or blocks and create a driveway, suggest you bury them flush with ground or maybe half an inch out of ground

I also would suggest pavers. You could create paths between your rows, just allow enough space between the pavers and the plants so that the plants get enough water. Make sure you have at least one area large enough so that you can turn your wheelchair around.

As well as making the terrain easy to navigate, I suggest you have someone build you several wheelchair accessible raised bed gardens. The newer edition of "Square Foot Gardening" book shows pictures of it. Wooden framed wide "beds" are elevated off the ground at the height you decide will fit you (you'll roll your chair under it and work at arm level). Good quality topsoil should fill the beds deeply enough to enable the plants to grow well, and drainage holes will need to be drilled on the floor of the beds. Such a set-up is perfect also for people crippled by arthritis and unable to get up and down from the ground. It's an expense and work to set up, but perhaps your local state extension has master gardeners willing to help. Or contact your local Boy Scout counsel to see if an aspiring Eagle Scout needs a worthwhile Eagle project!!! (I have 4 Eagle Scout adult sons, and such a project would be way cheaper than some young men have done!) Remember to set up a system of watering, perhaps with a long metal watering "wand" or automatic system of some kind, because soil in containers dries out faster than in the ground. Whoever mows your lawn should collect grass clippings for you to use as mulch to hold in moisture and prevent weeds. I hope you have great success!

Be sure your lawn isn't sprayed with poisons!!!😊

Raised beds are also a good idea, as they make it easier to reach everything.

i would make the garden beds 4 ft wide, leaving 4 feet between the beds. This makes easy to pick.ii would raise the beds to about knee ht.. I have used wood chips between my rows, but you may be better off having a cement pad poured, then the beds built on top of it, with isles between .

I agree your first order of business is access with the paver paths or some hard surface so you will not have the nightmare of getting stuck in the gravel or the dirt, lawn or mud. Turn-arounds are a good idea if you have the space. Also the raised beds if you can afford it, the paths are more of a priority. There are long handle graspers that will make the work easier. You can also add extensions to the simple garden tools. Also you may be able to get a local teen from a school or church to give you a hand. Most school require students to perform X number of community service hours for graduation. Contact the guidance dept of your high school.

Thanks I asked my son to buy more bricks. I have a specialty built garden. High enough to work on from my chair. But could not work on it with out someone pushing me out.

Good job on finding a way to make it happen and still do what you love. I have been seeing more beaches that are accessable. They use a wooden plank system. Another uses hard plastic that joins together like pavers. If you could safely go with wood until your sidewalk is assembled, it may tide you over. Check with your local St Vincent De Paul to see if they may have a voulenteer to help. We also have a business called Disability Connections that does a ton to help, perhaps an organization like that may open all sorts of doors for you. Blessings.
