Huge thanks to Luke and Jonathan who invited me to come talk geeky tech, and my book! Vision Forward is a great organization! Cory, you were missed!
We got into AI with screen readers, why I built NVDA Coach, and 20 years of making music without sight.

How To Design #Inclusive #CommunityGardens For All Abilities
by Kristian Angelov, Last Updated June 10, 2026
"An inclusive community garden works when people can arrive, move through the site, reach the soil, use water, rest, understand the rules, join workdays, and harvest with dignity. A garden can have wide paths and still exclude people if the gate is hard to open, the hose is heavy, all beds are low to the ground, signs use tiny print, or meetings happen at times that conflict with caregiving and shift work.
"Designing for all abilities means treating #accessibility as a whole garden system. Paths, beds, tool sheds, water points, seating, shade, compost areas, harvest tables, volunteer schedules, and decision processes all shape who can participate. Welcoming gardens reduce unnecessary effort so more people can stay involved in the activity.
"A shared growing space should give #wheelchair users, older adults, children, people with #LowVision, #NeurodivergentGardeners, people with #ChronicPain or #fatigue, new gardeners, caregivers, and neighbors with different languages or schedules a usable way to belong.
Key Takeaways
- Inclusive community garden design starts with the full route from street, transit, parking, or sidewalk to every shared task.
- Paths need firm surfaces, clear width, turning space, drainage, edge cues, and maintenance after storms.
- #RaisedBeds, #TabletopBeds, containers, vertical planters, and ground plots should work together so gardeners can choose the posture that fits them.
- Water, tools, compost, signs, seating, shade, and harvest areas need the same access planning as growing beds.
- Sensory and cognitive access matter: clear routes, predictable rules, quiet zones, tactile cues, pictograms, and low-overload work options expand participation.
- Community process is part of the design because schedules, plot rules, language access, and conflict systems decide who stays involved."Learn more:

"Find an #Accessible #Park or #NaturalArea
We’ve compiled a directory of parks and natural and scenic areas throughout the state that are accessible for people with disabilities. We’ve included trails and nature sites that have firm and even surfaces for individuals with #mobility concerns, #BrailleTrails and #AudioResources for #blind or #LowVision visitors, nature sites that offer #InclusiveProgramming, sites with #AdaptiveAmenities, and equipment to make visitor experiences more enjoyable. We are evaluating and adding new sites, so be sure to check back or sign up for email updates."

Packing to travel to the OSHWA Open Healthware Conference this morning! I'm excited to attend two workshops: (1) Open Healthware Medical Product Certification workshop, and (2) a Doctors and Makers workshop, where we brainstorm new medical products that could benefit from being FOSH. I'll be giving a talk representing work at @bce on the 9th at 10:30 AM. Videos will be posted after the conference. I'm so excited... 🙂

RE: https://friendhole.social/@beandreams/116870691137244274
This.
I'm an old, and I attended a #school for #blind and #lowVision students. One class we were required to take was #homeEc. My class was half boys and half girls.
Yes, we learned cooking and sewing, but we also learned how to iron and fold clothes, towels, and bedding, how to set the table (including for multiple courses), ettiquette (pullihg out a chair for someone, choosing from the menu when someone else is paying, etc.).
As a grown-ass adult, I can choose to do all the things however I want. Grouping my bedding into handy grab-and-go works for me.
