Abstract: The aim of the study was to develop an accessible assistive technology garden structure for the differently abled population to impart horticultural therapy. A prototype of the garden structure was developed after a preliminary study to make it more accessible. The user-centered approach to design was used to design the product. In order to study the feasibility and accessibility of the garden structure, a qualitative approach was taken in the study. A sample of twenty adolescents with disabilities was selected randomly for the feasibility study. The data collection techniques used in this study included observation, an interview schedule using a rating scale, and documentation. The results of the study indicated that the structure was highly acceptable, and it was reported that it is highly accessible, likeable, safe to use, produced no pain, and is appealing to the eyes.
