Sacramento, CA

AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2025

Project Category: Community Gardens

Description: ACC addressed the lack of an accessible outdoor space where older adults could garden and connect. New raised beds, benches, irrigation and a decomposed granite walkway made it possible for people with mobility or vision limitations to participate fully. Volunteers of all ages helped build the space, creating a sense of shared purpose. Older adults said the improvements let them garden up close again and enjoy time outside with others. The project strengthened social ties, increased daily engagement and established a long-term gathering place that will support health, learning and connection for years to come.
