Accessible boxes

From: Pam Kleingers (pam@kleingers.net) | Date: 2004-09-22 11:07:00 UTC-04:00
I would love some input on planting wheelchair accessible boxes, as well
as any other helpful hints on making boxes available to people whit other
disabilities.

Gwen & I have tried to make as many of our plants & replants wheel
chair accessible when ever we can. Instead of planting off trail in
those areas that have concrete trails(city nature centers) we have
used magnetic micro boxes under metal benches that are right on the
trail. When ever we edit our clue sheets we rethink accessibility,
and try to determine if a wheel chair could get into a spot.
There are different types of wheelchairs so not all wheelchairs can
be used. I will note in the clues either"wheelchair accessible"
or "wheelchair accessable with some help" I take a buddy hunting
that has ALS and his electric chair handles off road pretty well,
but still needs some help in really rough areas.

That sounds really good. Any issues with missing boxes? Do they centers know they are there?
