Harmony Wheelchair Accessibility Garden

The Harmony was designed around the wheelchair — 19¾″ of under-bed clearance lets chairs roll right under every bed, and the 32″ height keeps planting, tending, and picking within comfortable reach from a seated position.

Absolutely. The Harmony's height works naturally for standing gardeners — no bending or kneeling — which is why residents, staff, family, and kids can all garden around it together.

Elevated beds like our Elevated Heirloom raise the garden to standing height — ideal for gardeners who want to avoid bending. The Harmony goes further: its 19¾″ under-bed clearance lets a wheelchair roll directly beneath the beds, so seated gardeners work face-on rather than sideways. If your space includes both seated and standing gardeners, the Harmony serves everyone at one garden.

The Harmony is designed around wheelchair access — roll-under clearance, seated-height beds, and approach space on all sides. Overall site accessibility also depends on pathways, surfaces, and turning space, so we recommend reviewing the full layout against your accessibility requirements; our team can support with drawings and specs.

Yes — it's our signature accessibility garden for assisted living, retirement, and care communities. The social form supports garden clubs, wellness programming, and family visits, and the self-watering system keeps staff maintenance to a weekly top-up.

Yes. The enclosed, raised design allows participation without bending, kneeling, or reaching ground level, and therapeutic gardening supports sensory engagement, routine, and connection for residents living with dementia. Staff oversight stays simple with a once-weekly watering routine.

Herbs, salad greens, vegetables, strawberries, edible flowers, and pollinator plants all thrive in the 12½″ beds. The sub-irrigated soil stays evenly moist, which makes it especially forgiving for community and therapeutic gardening programs.

Five GardenWells® reservoirs sit below the soil and feed roots from beneath. Fill about once a week by hose or watering can, check the Hummingbird FloatGauge, and the garden takes care of the rest — using up to 80% less water than traditional overhead watering.

Western Red Cedar with furniture-grade joinery and stainless, corrosion-proof hardware. The GardenWells® are food-safe polypropylene and the liner is food-safe polyethylene — soil and water never touch the wood, so it's built for growing food and built to last.

The footprint is just over 6½ × 5¾ feet — allow clear space on all sides so wheelchairs can approach and turn. It's at home on patios, courtyards, terraces, and paved surfaces; for rooftop projects, ask us about load planning.

Yes — cedar is a natural exterior wood, and the passive system has no pumps, lines, or emitters to winterize or blow out. The Harmony is built to live outdoors year-round.

It arrives ready for straightforward site assembly — our video shows how it goes together, no professional experience required, and our team is a call away if you'd like a hand.

Each Harmony is handbuilt in North Vancouver, BC. Pick up free at our shop, or we ship across Canada and the US — lead times vary by season and are confirmed at your order. For community projects, we coordinate delivery with your install.

The Harmony is backed by a 10-year warranty. The food-safe liner keeps soil and water off the cedar, protecting the woodwork from the inside out.
