Accessibility Statement for Gardeners Dalston Services

Front view of a community garden in Dalston with accessible pathwaysWe at Gardeners Dalston are committed to ensuring that our Dalston gardening services are available and usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. This accessibility statement describes how our gardeners in Dalston strive to meet inclusive design standards, the measures we take to provide an accessible online and in-person experience, and how we support customers across the local area. Our goal is to remove barriers so that all residents seeking garden services in Dalston can access our information and services.

Our approach follows recognised best practices for accessibility. We aim for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance across digital interfaces that represent Gardeners Dalston and to apply the same inclusive mindset in the field. This includes accessible scheduling information, clear signage for site visits, and staff training so visits from Dalston gardeners are welcoming and well-communicated to everyone.

In the foreground, there is a patch of lush, green grass with a slightly uneven texture. Behind the grass, a metal gardening bucket holds various gardening tools, including a small hand rake with a red handle, a trowel, and a pair of secateurs, along with a ball of twine and a few sprigs of young, bright green grass or small plants. The background features a warm-toned wooden surface, possibly a garden shed or fence, providing a natural, rustic backdrop that emphasizes the outdoor gardening theme. The lighting appears natural, suggesting daylight, with soft shadows indicating a clear or partly cloudy sky. The scene is clean, simple, and conveys a focus on preparing or maintaining a garden space, aligned with professional gardening services such as those offered by Gardeners Dalston to support healthy outdoor environments in urban or suburban settings around Dalston, London.Screen-reader support is central to our digital accessibility work. Pages and documents provided by our team are structured with semantic headings, meaningful link text, and ARIA where appropriate to help assistive technologies describe content clearly. We also test with common screen readers to ensure that content about garden maintenance, planting plans and service descriptions is understandable for non-visual users.

We prioritise keyboard navigation so that people who cannot use a mouse can still interact with booking forms, service descriptions and FAQs. Keyboard focus states are visible and logical, and interactive elements follow a predictable tab order. For those using assistive keyboards or switch devices, our aim is to make gardeners in Dalston reachable with the fewest steps possible.

To deliver this we maintain a set of features, including:

  • Consistent page structure for easier navigation
  • High contrast text and scalable fonts to support low-vision users
  • Clear labels and forms for booking and enquiries
  • Alternative text for all images and accessible media controls
