Accessibility statement — Gardening in Bethnal Green

Volunteer tending raised beds in a community garden in Bethnal Green This accessibility statement explains how Gardening Bethnal Green and our resources for the Bethnal Green gardening community work to meet inclusive access standards. We aim to achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 AA compliance across our digital materials and public information so that residents, volunteers and gardeners in the Bethnal Green area can fully participate. This document outlines our current level of accessibility, support for assistive technologies, and how to request further help.

We design pages and event information to be compatible with common screen readers and other assistive tools. Our content uses semantic headings, lists and landmarks to support screen-reader support and logical navigation order. Images in event notices and garden updates include descriptive alt text where appropriate, and we use ARIA attributes to clarify dynamic content for assistive technologies.

A woman with light brown hair, dressed in a checkered shirt and light blue jeans, is kneeling on a well-maintained, lush green lawn in an outdoor garden setting. She is carefully planting or tending to blooming pink tulips in a small terracotta pot, wearing white gardening gloves. The garden features a neatly bordered flower bed with dark, rich soil, and is enclosed by a backdrop of dense shrubs and trees, providing natural privacy. To her right, there is a wicker basket filled with more pink tulip plants and a pair of gardening tools, including a hand trowel. A small, attentive brown and white puppy is sitting nearby, observing the activity. The scene is brightly lit, indicating a sunny day, with the vibrant green grass contrasting against the colorful flowers and natural tones of the garden. This outdoor space, typical of residential gardens in Bethnal Green, showcases elements suitable for gardening and landscaping services offered by Gardening Bethnal Green, emphasizing a peaceful, inviting environment focused on plant care and garden maintenance. Keyboard navigation is a priority for our site and community resources. We provide clear focus indicators, skip links when appropriate, and ensure interactive controls are reachable by keyboard-only users. Key accessibility features include:

  • Keyboard navigation: full operation of menus, forms and interactive widgets without a mouse.
  • Focus management: visible focus outlines and logical tab order to help users move through garden notices and event signup forms.
  • Readable structure: headings, lists and landmark regions that make content easy to scan.

Compatibility and assistive technology

We test against multiple browsers and common assistive technologies to keep our information accessible to people using screen magnifiers, screen readers and alternative input methods. Our goal is broad compatibility with current releases of major browsers and widely used assistive devices so that community gardeners in Bethnal Green and nearby areas can access event timetables, membership details and volunteer signups.

She is holding pruning shears in one hand while carefully trimming the flowering plants, which are situated alongside a hedge and other green foliage. The garden features a lush, well-maintained grassy area with dense shrubbery in the background, and the scene suggests a bright, partly sunny day with natural light illuminating the vibrant colors of the blossoms. The outdoor space appears landscaped with defined flower beds and a mixture of flowering and leafy plants, typical of residential gardening in Bethnal Green. Gardening Bethnal Green’s services may include plant care and garden maintenance, as reflected by the scene of meticulous pruning in a thoughtfully arranged garden environment. Accessibility checks combine automated tools with manual review. We run audits for WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria and address issues such as color contrast, keyboard focus visibility, semantic markup and readable font sizes. Where interactive maps or embedded resources are used for community gardening locations, we strive to provide accessible alternatives and clear text descriptions.

Known limitations and reasonable adjustments

We are continuously improving. Some third-party content or older documents may not yet meet WCAG 2.1 AA. When we identify such limitations we provide alternatives or workarounds. If a feature is not currently accessible, we will document the issue and advise on how to access the same information through an accessible channel.

We do not provide phone numbers or email addresses here, but we will acknowledge requests and work with you to provide information in an alternative format, organise assistance at events, or offer other reasonable adjustments for community gardening activities in the Bethnal Green area.
