Accessibility Statement for Bills Garden

The image depicts three individuals working together in a well-maintained garden setting, with a lush, dense evergreen tree providing a backdrop. One person, standing with their back to the camera, is dressed in a sleeveless top and teal trousers, observing or guiding the other two. The other two are crouched down near a flower bed, actively tending to the plants; one appears to be planting or weeding, while the other is closely inspecting or adjusting the flowers. The garden area features a variety of small, colorful flowers arranged in a neat border along the edge of a lush, green lawn with dense grass. To the right, there is a dark rectangular outdoor container, possibly for plants or storage. The scene is set in natural daylight, suggesting a peaceful, outdoor environment in a residential garden, consistent with professional gardening and landscaping services provided by Bills Garden in the UK. The overall setting emphasizes careful plant care, landscaping detail, and outdoor maintenance, with a focus on flower beds, lawn, and tree surroundings typical of a well-kept domestic garden in Saint Albans, Hertfordshire. We at Bills Garden are committed to ensuring that our gardens, pathways and event spaces in the Bills Garden area are welcoming and usable by everyone. This accessibility statement explains how we approach digital and physical accessibility across the Bills Garden site and the measures we take to meet recognised standards. Our aim is to offer an inclusive experience, guided by the principle that access is a right, not a privilege.

Our approach covers both online and on-site elements. In the garden grounds and surrounding Bills Garden venue we prioritise clear signage, level pathways, dedicated accessible seating and step-free routes where possible. For the digital environment we follow the WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines to make content perceivable, operable, understandable and robust. We actively work to make navigation straightforward for all users, including those using assistive technologies.

In front of the planter box, various gardening tools are visible, including a small hand rake, a trowel, a pair of gardening gloves, and a gardening fork, all arranged on the grass. The garden appears to be outdoors on a bright, clear day, with natural light highlighting the vibrant green of the plants and the textures of the wooden planter and tools. The background suggests a spacious outdoor area suitable for gardening and landscaping activities, reflecting a well-kept, landscaped garden environment typical of residential outdoor spaces near Bills Garden, serving garden maintenance and landscaping needs across the local area.

  • Screen-reader support: semantic markup and ARIA where necessary to aid screen-reader users.

The scene is outdoors on a day with natural light, and the garden features a variety of plant textures and shades of green, indicative of professional gardening or landscaping work typical of outdoor maintenance services for gardens in the UK, possibly near Bills Garden’s service area. We test our public-facing systems using a combination of automated tools and manual checks with assistive technologies. Regular audits focus on WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, with particular attention to common barriers such as missing alt text, insufficient link descriptions, and form accessibility. Where issues are identified, we prioritise fixes and track progress so the Bills Garden site improves continuously.

How we support assistive technologies

We build pages with clear headings, skip links, and logical tab order so that screen-reader users and keyboard navigators can move through content efficiently. Images in our digital materials include descriptive alt text and decorative images are marked appropriately. We provide captions and transcripts for multimedia where possible, and strive to make interactive features operable without a mouse. Our staff are trained to offer on-site assistance when needed, and to describe routes and features to visitors with vision impairment.
