The newest garden, Old Town Garden, was created to benefit both members of the Coppell Senior and Community Center, and residents the Old Town Coppell neighborhood. The garden offers greater opportunities to residents with limited physical abilities, featuring highly raised beds that don't require bending down and accessible pathways.
