These gardens will be planted and tended as part of an ongoing garden therapy program developed by the Hopp Ground Garden Club to serve adults who love to garden but need assistance. Accessibility is very much an issue for this group and these Ability Gardens will give the Ability Gardeners a chance to give back to the community; a basic ingredient of a fulfilling adult life.
What a beautiful day that was. The weather was perfect and I took so many pictures of the flowers!
