Accessibility Statement

PlantVine is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We have tested our site using a variety of screen readers, web browsers and operating systems. For the best experience, we recommend using:

Windows Computers

  • Microsoft Narrator with Microsoft Edge
  • Jaws with Microsoft Edge
  • Jaws with Google Chrome
  • Google Screen Reader browser extension with Google Chrome

Apple Computers

It is recommended to use the latest version of each software for the best experience. Our goal is to maintain WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA conformance but in addition to this level we have worked to make certain parts of our site even more accessible where we felt the experience could be improved for vision impaired customers or those using a screen reader.
