This statement explains how our local gardening services and Ickenham gardeners work to meet inclusive design standards and to provide an accessible experience for clients, visitors and contractors.

We aim to follow WCAG 2.1 AA principles where digital materials and service information are published, ensuring key pages, documents and tools are perceivable, operable, understandable and robust.

Our aim is to make gardening in Ickenham welcoming to people of differing abilities.

Known limitations: While we strive for full accessibility, there may be occasional materials or on-site setups that do not yet meet all best practices.
