Tenants at Mytholm Meadows, Hebden Bridge, can now enjoy the fully landscaped and planted garden created by a team of volunteers.
Helpers from Pennine Housing, which owns the homes, and local residents rolled up their sleeves to make over a waterlogged and overgrown garden after Glen O'Donnell, Pennine Housing community investment co-ordinator, came up with the idea.
Many of the residents at Mytholm Meadows have limited mobility or disabilities.
Mrs O'Donnell said: "The garden has been designed for the five senses.
"We have plants that are scented which will be especially important for blind and partially sighted residents.
"There are also colourful flowers as well as herbs to touch and taste, along with the background rustle of bamboos in the breeze."
The garden also includes grassed areas which can take the weight of wheelchairs, paths, walkways, a water feature, a timber deck, benches and raised and level flowerbeds.
It was officially opened this week by the Deputy Mayor of Calderdale David O'Neill.
Volunteers who worked on the area included people from Ryburn Valley High School, Sowerby; Hebden Royd Primary and sponsors including the Bearder Trust, Keepmoat and Hebden Bridge Rotary Club all attended the ceremony along with a guitar trio featuring Pennine electrician Simon Conway who worked on the water feature.
Mrs O'Donnell said "We couldn't have achieved this remarkable transformation without both the financial contributions made by sponsors and dozens of volunteers who gave their time."
Young people and community groups are now being invited to help maintain the garden which will also include a wildlife area.
