Improving Accessibility - Welcome to the Vernon Barker Memorial Garden!
Sunshine Community Gardens is committed to improving access for people with disabilities. Sunshine gardeners came together this year to build some great raised beds to improve access and broaden accessibility to the garden, and expand our membership. The Vernon Barker Memorial Garden is a new way for people to enjoy gardening. The project is named in honor of longtime beloved gardener Vernon Barker. Vernon was an excellent gardener and Austin original. A WWII veteran attached to the Texas 36th Infantry Division, Vernon saw action in North Africa and Italy. His great personality and storytelling brought a smile to everyone.
Ten raised beds were recently constructed that allow access for people with mobility issues. They are currently all being gardened.
