Inclusive Gardening June 2025 at Westchester Land Trust
Our Inclusive Gardening Day was about more than planting seeds in the soil — it was about planting seeds of understanding and connection across our community. The experience brought together children with disabilities, their families, and volunteers of all ages to dig, laugh, and grow side by side. For many, it was a first opportunity to engage meaningfully with children who have medical or developmental challenges in a hands-on, joyful environment.
The garden became a shared space where curiosity replaced hesitation, and where people of all generations learned from one another. Children, teens, adults, and seniors alike walked away with a deeper awareness of the daily realities faced by children with disabilities — and a renewed confidence in how to interact, include, and support them in everyday life.
Thanks to our gold sponsor, Rusticus Garden Club of Bedford, for making this event possible!
