Enid Enabling Gardens Kate Morrison, Faith Farm Coordinator 820 W. Cherokee 580.237.4800 [email protected] In 2009 the garden was renovated to created an Enabling Garden for those with mobility impairments. Paths were resurfaced in the main areas with compacted decomposed granite making them accessible to those using wheel chairs, walkers or canes. Large planters and raised beds were added to enable these same individuals to sit or stand with support and enjoy gardening activities. A permanent shade pavilion was built to provide a shady area for resting or utilizing the built in work station area. The primary purpose of Faith Farm is to provide Garden Therapy; using plants and horticulture activities to improve the social, educational, psychological and physical well-being of individuals in a variety of situations. Working in a garden setting has been proven to help people relax, reduce stress and provide exercise. In addition it can improve self-esteem, encourage creativity and teaches cooperation and problem solving.
