Great suggestion, Kate. The Chicago Botanic Garden has an enabled garden (opened in late 1990s, I think)...so do several universities. 
Gene Rothert wrote The Enabling Garden: Creating Barrier-Free Gardens. Rothert wrote it while at the CBG...don't know if he's still there.

Chicago has a bunch of information on enabling gardening which includes  
abilities of all descriptions. There are also companies that produce  
ergonomically designed tools which help too. I have worked on a couple of  enabling 
gardens over the past decade or two so shoot me a direct email if you  need 
specifics about what I have seen/done etc.
