Parallel to the ramp is a plot for an accessible kitchen or cutting garden. The lawn and patio are graded flat so people can walk comfortably. But to ensure that puddles and ice patches don't form, downspouts leading from rain gutters direct storm water to an underground drain. A rain barrel is provided to collect some roof runoff for watering the garden. — Text by Michael Chotiner; Photographs by Chris Usher
