Gardener Chessington Accessibility Statement

Gardening tools beside a pathway in Chessington, symbolising accessible local gardening services We are committed to making the Gardener Chessington area welcoming and usable for everyone. This statement explains how our gardening services across the Chessington community address accessibility, how we design online and printed materials for inclusive use, and the approaches we take to support people who rely on assistive technology. Our goal is to provide clear access to service information, bookings and practical advice across the local Gardener Chessington network.

Our online presence and public-facing materials are developed with reference to the WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria. That includes semantic structure, meaningful headings, descriptive link text, and consistent navigation. We emphasise readable content and predictable layouts so residents and professional gardeners in and around Chessington can find and use information without confusion.

A garden scene showing a person wearing light green gardening gloves using a small trowel to plant a dark-colored flowering plant into a rectangular wooden planter box. The box is filled with soil and sits on a well-maintained grassy lawn. Surrounding the planter are vibrant marigold flowers with yellow and orange blooms, adding splashes of colour. In the background, there is more lush green grass, and the lighting suggests a bright, sunny day. The environment appears to be part of a landscaped outdoor space, reflecting typical garden maintenance activities supported by professional gardening services in Chessington. The overall composition emphasizes outdoor gardening work focused on planting and flower bed enhancement, with natural tones of green, yellow, and orange predominating. We design for screen-reader support across popular platforms. Compatibility is maintained with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver and mobile screen readers on Android and iOS. Proper ARIA roles and landmarks are used, form controls are labelled explicitly, and images and controls include descriptive text alternatives to assist users who depend on audio feedback or keyboard-driven exploration.

Keyboard navigation is supported throughout our booking flows and informational pages. Every interactive element—links, buttons, form fields and dialogs—is reachable via keyboard only, with logical tab order and clear focus indicators. Where custom components are required we add accessible keyboard behaviours and announceable states so users can operate tools without a mouse when engaging with Gardener Chessington services.

She is tending to rows of lush, healthy green plants, possibly seedlings or herbs, arranged in red plastic pots on gravel or soil beds. The background shows additional greenery with more potted plants and a blurred out garden environment. The scene is outdoors on a cloudy day, providing natural, diffuse lighting that highlights the vibrant green tones of the plants and the woman's cheerful expression. The environment suggests a professional gardening or landscaping setting, aligned with services offered by Gardener Chessington, and the scene emphasizes plant care and cultivation as part of outdoor garden maintenance or landscaping projects in the Chessington area. Accessibility is integrated into our maintenance and testing regime. The Gardener in Chessington team conducts automated checks, manual keyboard and screen-reader tests, and periodic audits to find and fix regressions. We also work with local community groups to test real-world scenarios, ensuring the accessibility of scheduling, service descriptions, and on-site instructions for gardeners and customers across the Chessington area.

We know that some users need information in alternate formats. On request we can provide large print, plain text extracts, simplified summaries, or phone-assisted support arranged by appointment. We try to respond to reasonable accessibility requests in a timely way and to provide materials in a format that meets the individual's needs.
