About The Ability Garden
The new Ability Garden concept plan was designed by Eric Hornig of Hitchcock Design Group and was
constructed by Outdoor Innovations. The concept plan was referenced throughout the construction process, as the entire garden was custom built throughout all the steps to ensure appropriate mobility. Ken Hoffman of Outdoor Innovations used modern design techniques and appropriate materials that include neutral-color stone and softer-stone material. Sensory-friendly plants will be included in the Ability Garden. Plants were planted by our friends at Handicapped Development Center and will be maintained by our friends at Hand-in-Hand.
There will be no cost to visit the Ability Garden upon completion, as the garden is located outside the garden gates.
