A gardener wearing light green gloves with blue floral patterns is planting a small shrub or young plant into rich, dark soil in a garden bed. The plant has numerous small green leaves and is being positioned carefully, possibly as part of general landscaping or garden maintenance services by Gardeners Thornton Heath.

  • Readable and plain language to make descriptions of gardening services accessible to a wider audience.

Ongoing improvements and limitations

We regularly test our digital and printed materials and update them as we implement improvements. While we strive for a high level of accessibility across all content describing Gardeners in Thornton Heath, some legacy materials or third-party tools may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. When we rely on third-party services, we endeavour to ensure they meet similar accessibility expectations and we will provide alternatives if necessary.

Review process: We review accessibility at planned intervals and after major updates to content or systems. We train staff who handle client communications and field visits to be aware of accessibility needs and to act respectfully and effectively when accommodations are requested.

Thank you for taking the time to read our accessibility statement. We are committed to continuous improvement and to making our Thornton Heath garden services inclusive and usable by as many people as possible.
