Accessible Gardening at Parsons Green

This Accessibility Statement explains how our Gardening Parsons Green services and information aim to be inclusive for everyone. We are committed to delivering an experience that meets WCAG 2.1 AA compliance and to making practical adjustments for the Parsons Green community. The following statement outlines our approach to accessible gardening information, resources, and physical site considerations.

We recognise that accessibility is ongoing work. Our Accessible Gardening Parsons Green initiative covers digital content, community sessions, and on-site signposting. Key commitments include clear labeling of tools, tactile markers where appropriate, and pathways that support mobility aids. We also prioritise plain language and logical structure to help navigation by all visitors.

Our dedication extends to online resources about Gardening in Parsons Green. We aim to ensure pages provide semantic HTML, headings that follow a logical order, and ARIA landmarks where needed. Documents and downloadable materials are checked for readable fonts, sufficient contrast, and compatibility with assistive technologies.

We have designed the site and related materials for robust screen-reader support. This includes descriptive link text, alt text for images, and avoidance of vague phrases such as “click here.” For those using screen readers, live events and recorded sessions will include transcripts or summaries when possible, and we provide clear instructions for using audio descriptions.

Keyboard navigation is an essential part of our accessibility work. Users can navigate menus, forms, and event sign-ups using a keyboard alone. Focus indicators are visible and consistent, and interactive components are operable without reliance on pointer devices. We test keyboard order and skip links to ensure efficient movement through pages about Parsons Green gardening opportunities.

Our digital accessibility testing uses a combination of automated tools and manual checks. We review pages for contrast ratios, text resizing, and responsive behaviour across devices. Gardening at Parsons Green resources are regularly audited to keep pace with new content, and remediation plans are prioritised when issues are found.

We provide multiple ways to access event information and site directions for the Parsons Green area. Accessibility features include large-print notices, route descriptions with gradient and surface detail, and placement of seating and rest points. Where possible, garden layouts consider wheelchair turning circles and raised beds for different reach ranges.

For content creators and volunteers working on Parsons Green gardening projects, we offer training on accessible practices. This includes guidance on producing accessible PDFs, using colour thoughtfully, and preparing verbal descriptions for visual demonstrations. Volunteer coordinators are encouraged to document accessibility provisions for each session so attendees can make informed decisions.

If you require an adjustment or additional support, please contact our Accessibility Team using the contact options listed on this site or through the local venue reception. We take requests seriously and will aim to respond promptly, discuss reasonable adjustments, and arrange alternatives when needed. To help us assist you efficiently, tell us about the barrier you face and the preferred format or support you need.
