HOW OUR ACCESSIBLE GARDENS WORK

The Green Circle Garden is a made-in-the-USA, ADA-accessible, self-irrigating raised garden system that makes gardening easier, healthier, and more inclusive for people of all ages and abilities.

How the Green Circle Accessible Garden Works

1. Self-Irrigating Wick System (Low Maintenance)
   The Green Circle Garden uses a passive self-irrigation system powered by 100 feet of pre-cut wicking material. The wicks draw water evenly up from the reservoir into the soil, delivering consistent moisture directly to plant roots—reducing watering frequency and preventing over- or under-watering.

2. Consistent Moisture = Healthier Plants
   The wick system keeps soil evenly moist, which:

   • Reduces plant stress

   • Improves growth and yields

   • Lowers maintenance for staff and caregivers

   • Makes gardening easier for seniors and people with limited mobility

3. Designed for Universal Access
   Raised to a wheelchair-accessible height, the Green Circle Garden allows users to garden while seated or standing—no bending, kneeling, or strain required.

4. 360-Degree ADA-Friendly Access
   The circular, open-center design provides full reach from any side, allowing multiple users to garden together while maintaining ADA clearance.

5. Promotes Independence & Dignity
   The easy-to-manage watering system combined with accessible height enables users to care for plants independently, reinforcing confidence and purpose.

6. Supports Therapeutic & Wellness Programs
   Ideal for horticultural therapy, rehabilitation, life enrichment, and inclusive education—without requiring daily manual watering.

7. Activates Underused Spaces
   Installs easily in courtyards, patios, schoolyards, and public spaces, transforming unused areas into vibrant, productive environments.

8. Low-Impact Installation
   No in-ground digging or complex plumbing required. The wick-based irrigation system is simple, reliable, and maintenance-friendly.

9. Durable & Built for Long-Term Use
   Designed for outdoor environments and repeated seasonal planting.

10. Made in the USA & BABAA Compliant
    Manufactured in California, the Green Circle Garden qualifies for Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) funding in eligible state and federal projects.
