Not a straightforward website. To go from one chapter to another requires using the back button and reclicking the next chapter. The information provides a background and justification for having accessible landscaping, as well as several examples of how to utilize universal access. Short sites to read and very easy reading. I would have enjoyed reading more.

"July 26 marks the 19th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.... the ADA's provisions include the right to seek, obtain, pursue and maintain employment without being hampered by physical or attitudinal barriers. I believe that having a job is a civil right. Those who are qualified for and want to work should not be denied that right because of an inaccessible building or an outdated set of assumptions about what they can or cannot do..."
