A woman with blonde hair, wearing a plaid shirt and blue jeans, is kneeling on a well-maintained green lawn in a garden, tending to pink tulips in a small brown pot. The garden features a lush, dense hedge and mature trees in the background, providing a natural boundary and shade. To her right, a small brown and white puppy is sitting on the grass, attentively observing her activity. Near the puppy, there is a woven basket with additional tulips, and a garden trowel rests beside it. The garden surface includes a mix of grass, freshly turned soil in planting beds, and small patches of mulch, all under bright, natural daylight indicative of clear weather. The setting appears to be part of a residential outdoor space with a tidy, landscaped appearance, ideal for gardening activities and outdoor leisure, reflecting professional garden maintenance practices by Gardening Hayes in Hayes or surrounding areas.

  • WCAG 2.1 Level AA as our baseline for content and interactive elements.
  • Screen-reader support for content navigation, images, and service descriptions.
  • Keyboard navigation for menus, forms and interactive appointment tools.
  • Clear visual contrast and resizable text for readability.

We test screen-reader flows for articles about plant care, pruning and seasonal tasks so that instructions and lists are read in a logical order.
