The Disabled Independent Gardeners Association
community gardens program is growing.
For two years now, the organization – which
enables people with disabilities to grow a variety
of plants – has been offering Vancouver
wheelchair accessible community garden plots for
those without access to land of their own.
This started with temporary use of development
land at Pacific & Seymour, followed this year by
George Pearson Centre plots on West 57th

Pearson land.

specially built ‘table-top’ plots at the Pearson
Garden,” said DIG
