EMBASSY ATTACHÉS VISIT NURSERY
Diplomats from across Europe descended on Provender Nurseries, in Kent, to learn about UK plant growers. The purpose of the visit, which was organised by the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA), was to see a UK grower first-hand and share insights into how the industry works with European suppliers, working on cross-border trade challenges and the transition to peat-free, a significant step towards sustainable horticulture that the UK industry is actively pursuing.
The UK imports £753 million of plants and plant products each year. The visit included representatives from the EU delegation to the UK, Ireland, Belgian, Dutch, Spanish, French, and Hungarian embassies.
