Gardening Stratford Accessibility Commitment

We at Gardening Stratford are committed to making our online content and in-person services accessible to everyone. This statement explains how our Stratford gardening information and garden services Stratford pages aim to meet accessibility standards and what measures are in place to support people with diverse needs. Accessibility is central to our work with local Stratford gardeners and our community outreach.

Our objective is to align with WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria where applicable. We design pages with clear structure, logical headings, and consistent navigation to help users find information about Gardening in Stratford easily. We also test content for color contrast, readable fonts, and scalable text so visitors can consume information comfortably.

For people using assistive technologies, we provide explicit support for screen readers and modern browsers. Our content is coded with semantic HTML, ARIA landmarks where needed, meaningful link text, and properly labeled form controls to ensure predictable interaction for screen-reader users exploring Stratford garden projects or booking garden maintenance.

Keyboard navigation is a priority. All interactive elements, menus, and forms are reachable and operable without a mouse, allowing users to access details about Stratford gardening events and garden maintenance services via keyboard-only input. We maintain visible focus indicators and logical tab order to assist keyboard users in finding content quickly.

To make images and visual content accessible, we use descriptive alt text on photos and diagrams when published. Where images convey complex information, we provide text alternatives or longer descriptions so that someone learning about planting plans or seasonal care in Stratford can access the same information. Visual media is supplemented by captions or transcripts where appropriate.

We also provide content in multiple formats to support different needs: concise summaries, detailed explanations, and downloadable resources that are structured for accessibility. This helps people who prefer screen readers, those who use magnification tools, and visitors seeking summarized advice on Gardening Stratford topics.

Our ongoing maintenance and testing program includes automated scans and manual checks against WCAG 2.1 AA benchmarks. We prioritize fixes for issues affecting navigation, forms, and key content areas such as bookings, service descriptions, and safety guidance for local gardeners. We also document known issues and timelines for remediation.

Below are examples of features and practices we follow to improve accessibility across Stratford gardening materials:

• Screen-reader compatibility: semantic landmarks, aria-labels, and descriptive link text.
• Keyboard support: full tab navigation, skip links, and focus management.
• Readable content: clear language, consistent headings, and accessible PDFs where provided.
