Entrance to a community garden pathway with accessible paving in Mill Hill We are committed to inclusive gardening and green-space access across the Gardening Mill Hill area. This accessibility statement explains how our Mill Hill gardening services aim to meet the needs of visitors, volunteers and clients with disabilities. Our approach is practical and evolving: we strive to make gardens in Mill Hill accessible to as many people as possible through design choices, content accessibility and staff training.

Gardening Mill Hill makes ongoing improvements to physical and digital access. We follow the WCAG 2.1 AA standard for online content and accessibility. In practice that means our website and digital materials are built for screen-reader support, logical heading structure, clear link text and adequate color contrast. We also provide alternative formats on request, such as printed text with large fonts or documents prepared for assistive technologies.

Our content is structured with headings and lists so people using assistive technology can quickly scan and find information about Mill Hill gardening events, planting workshops and volunteer opportunities.

Key accessible features we implement include:

  • Screen-reader compatibility — pages are tested for ARIA landmarks, descriptive alt text for images and meaningful link text.
  • Keyboard navigation — interactive controls and forms are operable without a mouse, enabling easier use of our gardening schedules and sign-up forms.
  • WCAG 2.1 AA compliance — we aim to meet applicable success criteria for contrast, text resizing, and predictable navigation.

We also provide captions or transcripts for audio when used in educational garden content, and consider multiple formats for downloadable materials so that information about community gardening in Mill Hill is accessible to assistive technologies.
