Wheelchair Advisory
For those persons who use a wheelchair or who are otherwise mobility
impaired, we would like to advise you that the locations involved
in the garden tour are not fully accessible. Most of the gardens are
in yards that would involve traversing a lawn, flagstone, or other
surfaces that are not even. Most of the sites could be managed with
the assistance of a companion, and we will have volunteers at each
site willing to help.
We wish to welcome everyone that wants to take advantage of this wonderful
opportunity to visit these secret gardens. However, we feel it is
our responsibility to let everyone know that full accessibility to
all sites may not be possible.
