Accessibility Statement

At Growing Together Community Gardens, we believe that our community is at its best when everyone can participate. With ten gardens rooted across the Fargo-Moorhead region, our mission is to bring people together and that includes ensuring our digital space is welcoming and accessible to all visitors, regardless of ability or technology.

We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and, in doing so, aim to adhere to available standards and guidelines.

What is web accessibility?

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

Conformance Status

To help us make the Growing Together website a positive place for everyone, we use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as our guide. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.

This site's contents have been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard use. As part of this effort, we have also:

• Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues

• Set the language of the site

• Set the content order of the site’s pages

• Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages

• Added alternative text to images

• Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast

• Reduced the use of motion on the site

• Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible
